GetFS

Return file selector

Declaration

Source position: unixutil.pp line 43

Description

GetFS returns the file selector that the kernel provided for your file. In principle you don' need this file selector. Only for some calls it is needed, such as the #rtl.baseunix.fpSelect call or so.

Errors

In case the file was not opened, then -1 is returned.
