What is the equivalent to _fsopen in pellesc?

[rxantos]

For logging purposes I need to allow reading from a file on another process while writing to it on the current process.

On Visual C++ I use _fsopen with the _SH_DENYWR flag for that purpose. (as fopen locks the file for both reading and writing on visual c++)  What would be the equivalent on Pelles C?

Hi rxantos,

_fsopen is exported by msvcrt.dll :

Code: [Select]

podump.exe /EXPORTS C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll | findstr "_fsopen"
            113   112  77C2EFAF  _fsopen

You should link against msvcrt.lib

You can use _sopen to open file with denyied rights then assign it to a stream using _fdopen.
A complete replacement could be:

Code: [Select]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <io.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <errno.h>

FILE *_fsopen(const char *filename, const char *mode, int shflag)
{
unsigned int m = 0;
unsigned int c = 0;

switch (*mode++)
{
case 'r': //open for reading
m = _O_RDONLY;
c = _S_IREAD;
break;

case 'w': //open for writing
m = _O_WRONLY | _O_CREAT | _O_TRUNC;
c = _S_IREAD | _S_IWRITE;
break;

case 'a': //open for appending
m = _O_WRONLY | _O_CREAT | _O_APPEND;
c = _S_IREAD | _S_IWRITE;
break;

default: //illegal mode
errno = EINVAL;
return NULL;
}

for (; *mode; mode++)
switch (*mode)
{
case '+':
c = _S_IREAD | _S_IWRITE;
m |= _O_RDWR;
break;

case 'b':
m |= _O_BINARY;
break;

default:
break;
}

int handle = _sopen(filename, m, shflag, c);

if (!handle)
return NULL;

return _fdopen(handle, mode);
}

I just wrote it, but not checked. Please let us know if it works for you.
