GetNextPartition -- return information about client's next partition

Synopsis (Unsupported service)

   #include <sys/types.h>
   #include <sys/lcs.h>
   #include <sys/lss.h>
   
   int CardServices (GetNextPartition, int n1,
                     int n2, int PartitionLen,
                     Partition_t *pPartition, rm_key_t key);

Description

GetNextPartition( ) reads a Client's CIS and returns information for the next partition on it.

Arguments

n1: NULL
n2: NULL
PartitionLen: Length of the Partition(D4pccard) structure.
pPartition: Pointer to a Partition(D4pccard) structure.
key: Resource manager key.

Return values

NO_MORE ITEMS: There are no additional partitions.
UNSUPPORTED_SERVICE: Service not currently supported.

Usage

It is best to have each partition support only one device. Use of a MTD would probably be necessary to have a partition support more than one device, and even then, portability may suffer as the client may have to be tailored to run on different systems.

Context and synchronization

Interrupt, user, or initialization context
