Int 21H Function 6CH
◄Summary► ◄Notes► ◄Back►
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
▀ The function fails if:
- any element of the pathname does not exist.
- the file is being created in the root directory and the root directory
is full.
- the file is being created and a file with the same name and the read-
only attribute already exists in the specified directory.
- the program is running on a network and the user running the program
has insufficient access rights.
▀ A file is usually given a normal (0) attribute when it is created.
▀ The file's attribute can subsequently be modified with Int 21H Function
43H. This function combines the capabilities of Int 21H Functions 3CH,
3DH, and 5BH. It was added to MS-DOS for compatibility with the DosOpen
function of OS/2.
