GetFileSystemRepresentationMaxLength Method (buffer, maxLength)

Interprets the receiver as a system-independent path and fills a buffer with a C-string in a format and encoding suitable for use with file-system calls.

Original signature is '- (BOOL)getFileSystemRepresentation:(char *)buffer maxLength:(NSUInteger)maxLength'

Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later.

Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

public virtual bool GetFileSystemRepresentationMaxLength(
	IntPtr buffer,
	NSUInteger maxLength
)

Public Overridable Function GetFileSystemRepresentationMaxLength ( _
	buffer As IntPtr, _
	maxLength As NSUInteger _
) As Boolean

public:
virtual bool GetFileSystemRepresentationMaxLength(
	IntPtr buffer, 
	NSUInteger maxLength
)

Parameters

buffer (IntPtr): Upon return, contains a C-string that represent the receiver as as a system-independent path, plus the NULL termination byte. The size of buffer must be large enough to contain maxLength bytes.

maxLength (NSUInteger): The maximum number of bytes in the string to return in buffer (including a terminating NULL character, which this method adds).

Return Value

YES if buffer is successfully filled with a file-system representation, otherwise NO (for example, if maxLength would be exceeded or if the receiver can’t be represented in the file system’s encoding).
