Win32API::File v0.08 -- Low-level access to Win32 API calls for files.
New since v0.07:
GetHandleInformation SetHandleInformation
HANDLE_FLAG_INHERIT HANDLE_FLAG_PROTECT_FROM_CLOSE
fileConstant fileLastError
Low-level and full-power access to the following routines are provided:
CloseHandle CopyFile CreateFile
DefineDosDevice DeleteFile DeviceIoControl
GetDriveType GetFileType GetHandleInformation
GetLogicalDrives GetLogicalDriveStrings GetVolumeInformation
IsRecognizedPartition IsContainerPartition MoveFile
MoveFileEx QueryDosDevice ReadFile
SetFilePointer SetErrorMode SetHandleInformation
WriteFile
Plus the Unicode versions:
CopyFileW CreateFileW DefineDosDeviceW
DeleteFileW GetDriveTypeW GetLogicalDriveStringsW
GetVolumeInformationW MoveFileW MoveFileExW
QueryDosDeviceW
Full conversion between Win32-native file handles and Perl file handles is also supported. Access to the following C run-time library routines [or at least the Perl run-time library wrappers for them] is provided:
getosfhandle or win32_get_osfhandle as FdGetOsFHandle
openosfhandle or win32_open_osfhandle as OsFHandleOpenFd
The following Perl-friendly wrappers and helper functions are also provided:
OsFHandleOpen GetOsFHandle attrLetsToBits
createFile fileConstant fileLastError
getLogicalDrives
