PutDiskObject

write out a DiskObject to disk.

This routine writes out a DiskObject structure, and its associated information. The file name of the info file will be the name parameter with ".info" postpended to it. If the call fails, FALSE will be returned. The reason for the failure may be obtained via IoErr().

As of release V2.0, PutDiskObject() (if successful) notifies Workbench when an icon has been created/modified.

Using this routine protects you from any future changes to the way icons are stored within the system.

name

name of the object (pointer to a character string)

diskobj

a pointer to a DiskObject

status

TRUE if the call succeeded else FALSE

It is recommended that if you wish to copy an icon from one place to another than you use GetDiskObject() and PutDiskObject() and do not copy them directly.
