Minimal steps
| 1. | Add filenum.tbs and filenum.tbh files to your project (they are in current_library_set\filenum\trunk). |
| 2. | Add include "filenum\trunk\filenum.tbh" to the includes section of the global.tbh file. |
| 3. | Call filenum_get() whenever you need a free file number. Observe the result -- if it is 255 then there are no free file numbers available! |
| 4. | Call filenum_release() when you no longer need a particular file number. This way, the file number can be reused by something else in your code. |
Additional recommended steps
| 1. | The use of filenum_who_uses() is optional. This call will return a string signature left by the caller when obtaining the file number. FILENUM_MAX_SIGNATURE_LEN must be >0 for signatures to be saved. |
We have provided a code snippet illustrating the use of the FILENUM library.
