Specifies whether wildcard translation is to take place when parsing pathnames and filenames
#include <nwdir.h>
BYTE SetWildcardTranslationMode (
BYTE newMode);
(IN) Specifies the new translation mode (TRUE or FALSE).
Returns the old translation mode.
SetWildcardTranslationMode enables (TRUE) or disables (FALSE) translation of the following wildcards when parsing path and filenames:
When translation is enabled, the high-order bit is changed for all wildcard characters that are parsed in any subsequent file or directory service function. If the high-order bit is 0, it is set to a value of 1. If the high-order bit is 1, it is set to 0.
NetWare uses its own set of rules to interpret wildcards in pathnames. If the high-order bit of a wildcard character is a 1, NetWare interprets that character as a DOS wildcard (this is called an augmented wildcard) and uses DOS rules for interpretation of that wildcard.
