## osPfsNumFiles

Syntax

#include <ultra64.h>
s32 osPfsNumFiles(OSPfs *pfs, s32 *max_files, s32 *files_used);
Explanation
It acquires the maximum note number and the number of notes used in the Controller Pak. When called, this function returns the number of notes used to the location pointed to by the files_used argument, and it returns the total number of notes to the location pointed to by the max_files argument.
OSPfs structure pfs is a file handle which was initialized by a function osPfsInitPak. For how to create this handle, refer to osPfsInitPak.

If the function is successful, it returns a 0 as the return value. If an error occurs, one of 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 osContStartQuery or osContGetQuery.
- 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, so this error is rarely seen. If it does occur, it is possible that either the Controller is not connected properly, or the Controller Pak or Controller Socket is damaged.
- PFS_ERR_INCONSISTENT - There is a problem in the file system's management area. Usually this error does not occur because the osPfsChecker function is called internally when you initialize the file system with osPfsInitPak. If this error is returned, either the Controller Pak is not connected properly, or the Controller Pak itself is damaged.
- PFS_ERR_INVALID - There is an error in the parameter which was specified when the function was called, or the specified game note does not exist, or Pfs function was called without initializing using osPfsInitPak. Also, this error could occur when a function for the Controller Pak is executed after the file handle structure pfs is initialized using any other function than the initialization function for this Controller Pak, osPfsInitPak. For example, when osPfsDeleteFile is executed after OSPfs structure is initialized using the initialization function for the Rumble Pak,osMotorInit. If this error is returned, check the process of the game program.
