dos_creat

Usage

   #include <dos.h>
   int dos_creat(char *name,unsigned attribute):

Description

   Create a file in a DOS environment as opposed to a UNIX type environment
   (there is no "write-only" option as is found in UNIX). The attribute byte
   is the same as described in the DOS Technical Reference Manual. Here are
   the attributes defined in dos.h:


       FA_RDONLY   0x01    Read Only
       FA_HIDDEN   0x02    Hidden file
       FA_SYSTEM   0x04    System file
       FA_LABEL    0x08    Volume label
       FA_DIREC    0x10    Sub-directory
       FA_ARCH     0x20    Archive bit

Example 

   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <stdlib.h>
   #include <dos.h>

   int main()
   {
       int handle;

       if((handle = dos_creat("temp.fil",FA_ARCH)) == -1)
           perror("Unable to create file");
       else

           printf("File created successfully\n");
       return EXIT_SUCCESS;
   }

Return Value

   Returns a DOS handle if the file was successfully created otherwise a -1
   and errno is set.
