Comparison

User::LeaveIfError(file.Read(bufPtr));

Comparing S60 and Maemo Platforms

S60 Platform

// CBrCtlSampleAppContainer::ReadFileLC(const TDesC& aFileName)
// ----------------------------------------------------
//
HBufC8* CBrCtlSampleAppContainer::ReadFileLC(const TDesC& aFileName)
    {
    RFs rfs;
    RFile file;
    User::LeaveIfError(rfs.Connect());
    CleanupClosePushL(rfs);
    User::LeaveIfError(file.Open(rfs, aFileName, EFileRead));
    CleanupClosePushL(file);
    TInt size;
    User::LeaveIfError(file.Size(size));
    HBufC8* buf = HBufC8::NewLC(size);
    TPtr8 bufPtr(buf->Des());
    User::LeaveIfError(file.Read(bufPtr));
    CleanupStack::Pop(); // buf
    CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(2); // file, rfs
    CleanupStack::PushL(buf);
    return buf;
    }

Maemo Platform

{
    GnomeVFSResult vfs_result;
    GnomeVFSHandle *handle = NULL;

    GnomeVFSFileInfo finfo;
 
    gchar *temp_buffer = NULL;
 
    /* try to get file info */
    vfs_result = gnome_vfs_get_file_info(file_name, &finfo, GNOME_VFS_FILE_INFO_DEFAULT);

        return NULL;
    }
