Is this what you are looking for?


For level 0x0001 and flags == 0, directory information
for FS_FINDFIRST is returned in the following format:

  struct FileFindBuf  {
    unsigned short  dateCreate;
    unsigned short  timeCreate;
    unsigned short  dateAccess;
    unsigned short  timeAccess;
    unsigned short   dateWrite;
    unsigned short   timeWrite;
    long                 cbEOF;
    long               cbAlloc;
    unsigned short        attr;
    unsigned char       cbName;
    unsigned char     szName[];
  }

For level 0x0001 and flags == 1, directory information
for FS_FINDFIRST is returned in the following format:

struct FileFromFindBuf  {
  long              position;  /* position given to FSD on following */
                               /* FS_FINDFROMNAME call            */
  unsigned short  dateCreate;
  unsigned short  timeCreate;
  unsigned short  dateAccess;
  unsigned short  timeAccess;
  unsigned short   dateWrite;
  unsigned short   timeWrite;
  long                 cbEOF;
  long               cbAlloc;
  unsigned short        attr;
  unsigned char       cbName;
  unsigned char     szName[];
}

The other information levels have similar format, with
the position the first field in the structure for flags
== 1.

The above information comes directly from the IFS/FSD specification.

If you find one, I would like to know about it.  IBM does document OS/2
quite thoroughly, though, so I have always been fairly happy with the
official stuff.
