Raw I/O Functions

Raw I/O functions allow the application to directly call device driver functions. The first parameter of all of these functions is the zero-based index in RTFiles-32's device list. It specifies the device on which this operation should be performed. In this way, even devices which have not been mounted successfully or which contain no valid partition can be accessed.

Raw I/O functions can be used interleaved and in parallel with other, high-level I/O functions, but this is not recommended. Since no files are opened to use the raw I/O functions, no share protection is applied.
