Advanced Data Typing

Advanced data typing separates system calls, data typing, and attribute retrieval even further. Advanced data typing is more complicated to code because it uses data from existing system calls, which are initialized in advance and are not included as part of the data-typing function. Use the following function for advanced data typing:

DtDtsDataToDataType()

To type a read-only buffer, a stat structure should be passed that has the st_mode field set to S_IFREG | S_IROTH | S_IRGRP | S_IRUSR.
