osPfsSetLabel

Format
#include <ultra64.h>
s32 osPfsSetLabel(OSPfs *pfs, u8 *label);


What This Function Does
It writes to the Controller Pak label, which is a 32-byte label area in the Controller Pak. Write data specified by the label argument to the label area.

The OSPfs structure (pfs) is a file handle initialized by a call to osPfsInitPak. For information concerning the creation of this handle, see osPfsInitPak.

If the function is called successfully, a 0 value is returned. If an error occurs, one of the following error codes is returned:
  • PFS_ERR_NOPACK - Some type of PIF error has occurred; either the Controller Pak is not inserted into the specified Controller or the Controller is not properly connected. To determine which is the case, use the osContStartQuery or osContGetQuery function.
  • PFS_ERR_NEW_PACK - A different Controller Pak has been inserted. To use the inserted Controller Pak, initialize it by calling osPfsInitPak.
  • PFS_ERR_CONTRFAIL - Data transfer to or from the Controller has failed. If a transfer error occurs, up to three tries will be done internally. Therefore, this error is rarely seen. If get this error, it is possible that either the Controller is not connected properly, or the Controller Pak or Controller Socket is damaged.
