NAME
AssignPath -- Creates an assignment to a specified path (V36)
SYNOPSIS
success = AssignPath(name,path)
D0 D1 D2
BOOL AssignPath(STRPTR,STRPTR)FUNCTION
Sets up a assignment that is expanded upon EACH reference to the name. This is implemented through a new device list type (DLT_ASSIGNPATH, or some such). The path (a string) would be attached to the node. When the name is referenced (Open("FOO:xyzzy"...), the string will be used to determine where to do the open. No permanent lock will be part of it. For example, you could AssignPath() c2: to df2:c, and references to c2: would go to df2:c, even if you change disks.
The other major advantage is assigning things to unmounted volumes, which will be requested upon access (useful in startup sequences).
INPUTS
name - Name of device to be assigned (without trailing ':') path - Name of late assignment to be resolved at each reference
RESULT success - Success/failure indicator of the operation
