Declaration

Source position: amigados.pas line 2061

  name: PChar;

  lock: LongInt

):LongBool;

Arguments

name

  

Name of the assign (without trailing ':').

lock

  

Lock associated with the assigned name

Function result

If False the adding failed, lock is not unlocked. IoErr() gives more information.

Description

Adds a lock to an assign, making or adding to a multi-directory assign. Note that this only will succeed on an assign created with AssignLock(), or an assign created with AssignLate() which has been resolved (converted into a AssignLock()-assign).

NOTE: you should not use the lock in any way after making this call successfully. It becomes the part of the assign, and will be unlocked by the system when the assign is removed. If you need to keep the lock, pass a lock from DupLock() to AssignLock().
