getfilesize function

[Klimru]

Maybe this will be useful for someone...

Code: Select all

unsigned long getfilesize(const char *filepath) {
	psp_stats pstat;
	sceIoGetstat(filepath,&pstat);
	return pstat.filesize;
}

------

typedef struct {
	unsigned long unknown[2];
	unsigned long filesize;
	unsigned long unknown2[24]; // guestimate
} psp_stats;

void sceIoGetstat(const char *file, psp_stats *statx);

------

Example:
fs = getfilesize("flash0:/vsh/resource/12.bmp");

The unknowns have a lot of info in them... i just dont feel like sorting it out at the moment. For the code i'm writing now, I really only want the file size.

another possibility is to seek the end of the file:

Code: Select all

filesize = sceIoLseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END);

But seeking requires you to open and close the file, even if you aren't planning on reading from it :).
