36 /* FUNCTION
37 Read the filename referred to by the soft-linked object contained
38 in |path| (relative to the lock |lock|) into the buffer |buffer|.
39 The variable |path| should contain the name of the object that
40 caused the original OBJECT_IS_SOFT_LINK error.
42 INPUTS
43 port - The handler to send the request to.
44 lock - Object that |path| is relative to.
45 path - Name of the object that caused the error.
46 buffer - Buffer to fill with resolved filename.
47 size - Length of the buffer.
49 RESULT
50 >= 0 length of resolved filename in case of success
51 == -1 failure, see IoErr() for more information
52 == -2 buffer size was too small to store resolved filename
