Hi ,


I am trying to read the CDROM with the  ANIS C functions  open() read()
lseek()...

Here is what I am trying to do.


/********************** siocons test ************/
#include <libps.h>
#include <sys/file.h>

main()
{

     int fd,ret;
    char text[1000];
    char f[] = "cdrom:\\DATA\\SOUND\\SAMPLE1.SEQ;1"; // notice the
cdrom: !


     printf("trying to open %s\n",f);

     fd = open(f,O_RDONLY);

     if(fd > 0)
          printf("open worked fd = %d\n",fd);
     else
     {
          printf("open failed fd = %d\n",fd);
          return;
     }

     printf("trying to read %s\n fd = %d\n",f,fd);

     ret = read(fd,&text,999);

     printf("ret = %d\n",ret);

     text[999] = 0;

     printf("File <%s> CONTAINS \n<%s>\n",f,text);

     close(fd);
}


This compiles but hangs when it hits

 fd = open(f,O_RDONLY);

When this is ran using

char f[] = "\\DATA\\SOUND\\SAMPLE1.SEQ;1";  // (no device - cdrom:  )

it says that - \DATA\SOUND\SAMPLE1.SEQ;1  is not a device then

it displays all devices available eg bu: ,tty:, cdrom:
and exits.

What is the correct device name for the cdrom eg
cdrom??:

I really don't want to use the CdlFILE functions!
Has anyone got these functions working on the cdrom before?

What did I miss?
