Short: Handler for accessing memory as a file Author: Fredrik Wikstrom Uploader: Fredrik Wikstrom <fredrik a500 org> Type: disk/misc Version: 52.2 Architecture: ppc-amigaos Download: handlers/mem-handler.lha This handler works more or less the same as Peter Corlett's MEM-Handler on Aminet: http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/MEM-Handler371 It can be useful when programming, f.e. when you might have some data in memory and for some reason you need to be able to access it as a file but do not want to create a temporary file on disk or in "T:". Installation: 1. Drag'n'drop MEM into DEVS:DOSDrivers 2. Copy MEM-Handler to L: Usage: MEM:<LENGTH/A>/<BASE>/<RO=READONLY/S> LENGTH/A - size of the file to create BASE - base address of memory for file (if not provided, MEM-Handler will allocate MEMF_PRIVATE|MEMF_CLEAR memory using AllocVec) RO=READONLY/S - if this is used the created file will be write protected LENGTH and BASE can be in either decimal (no prefix), octal (beginning with "0") or hexadecimal (beginning with "0x" or "$") number system. Example (can cause DSIs, don't run!): Read 13 bytes beginning at address 0x590eb038 to the file "RAM:test.bin": copy MEM:13/0x590eb038 RAM:test.bin Changes: 52.2 (22-Sep-2010) - Added support for ACTION_SHUTDOWN and ACTION_GET_DISK_FSSM packets 52.1 (26-Jun-2009) - First released version
