I've been developing the file I/O routines for the Apple2 and so far I've made decent progress. I've been developing under ProDOS 8 and have these functions working: open, close, write, creat(e), lseek, ftruncate, feof, fileno The library routines tie into the STDIO routines and I/O using the STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR work correctly. What is left (other than lots): read - coded, needs testing chdir = set prefix read/write blocks rename fflush - coded, needs testing fgetpos fsetpos ftell getcwd = getprefix remove = destroy rewind = (setmark = 0) setbuf What might be left unimplemented: alloc interrupt, dealloc interrupt, get buffer, newline I've tried to follow the POSIX most of the time, however, certain items are just different. For example: the file info call returns: struct stat { dev_t st_dev; /* device */ ino_t st_ino; /* inode */ mode_t st_mode; /* protection */ nlink_t st_nlink; /* number of hard links */ uid_t st_uid; /* user ID of owner */ gid_t st_gid; /* group ID of owner */ dev_t st_rdev; /* device type (if inode device) */ off_t st_size; /* total size, in bytes */ blksize_t st_blksize; /* blocksize for filesystem I/O */ blkcnt_t st_blocks; /* number of blocks allocated */ time_t st_atime; /* time of last access */ time_t st_mtime; /* time of last modification */ time_t st_ctime; /* time of last change */ }; The ProDOS function returns: byte Access privs byte data stored (TXT,BIN...) word aux data (length or start or size depending on file type) byte storage type - close to inode level word reserved word date last modification word time last modification word date file creation word time file creation Would it be best to map the ProDOS values into the stat structure ? Is anyone else working on the same routines ? What is the procedure to add the changes into the code base ? For the most part a .zip of the apple2 libsrc will work, however, I've also added a few CONST items to the errno.inc and fcntl.inc files.
