3.26.1 How to use

",DUMMY" is appended to the file name specified for "3.7 cobfa_open()" or "3.8 cobfa_openW()", or the file name is omitted and only ",DUMMY" is specified.

fname = "[file-name],DUMMY";

Note

  • Place a comma (,) in front of the character string "DUMMY", otherwise the character string "DUMMY" will be interpreted as a file name.

  • Dummy file operation is the same regardless of whether the file name is specified. Even if the specified file exists, any operation is not done to the file.
