  len: LongInt

):LongBool;

Arguments

lock

  

Lock of object to be examined.

buffer

  

Buffer to store name.

Description

Returns a fully qualified path for the lock. This routine is guaranteed not to write more than len characters into the buffer. The name will be null-terminated.

NOTE: if the volume is not mounted, the system will request it (unless of course you set pr_WindowPtr to -1). If the volume is not mounted or inserted, it will return an error. If the lock passed in is nil, 'SYS:' will be returned. If the buffer is too short, an error will be returned, and IoErr() will return ERROR_LINE_TOO_LONG.
