NAME AddDosEntry -- Add a Dos list entry to the lists (v36) SYNOPSIS success = AddDosEntry(dlist) D0 D1 long adddosentry(struct doslist *) FUNCTION Adds a device, volume or assign to the dos devicelist. Can fail if it conflicts with an existing entry (such as another assign to the same name or another device of the same name). Volume nodes with different dates and the same name CAN be added, or with names that conflict with devices or assigns. Note: the dos list does NOT have to be locked to call this. Do not access dlist after adding unless you have locked the Dos device list. An additional note concerning calling this from within a handler: in order to avoid deadlocks, your handler must either be multi- threaded, or it must attempt to lock the list before calling this function. The code would look something like this: if (AttemptLockDosList(LDF_xxx|LDF_WRITE)) { rc = AddDosEntry(...); UnLockDosList(LDF_xxx|LDF_WRITE); } If attemptlockdoslist() fails (i.e. it's locked already), check for messages at your filesystem port (don't wait!) and try the attemptlockdoslist() again. INPUTS dlist - device list entry to be added. RESULT success - Success/Failure indicator SEE ALSO remdosentry(), finddosentry(), nextdosentry(), lockdoslist(), makedosentry(), freedosentry(), attemptlockdoslist()
