I just wrote a new ps command ("yet another one? Why??" -- because I haven't
seen a really complete one yet).
It already knows which tasks are file system devices (via DevInfo).
I would like to figure out which tasks are instances of non-file system
devices, like "trackdisk.device", but haven't found any way to do so
(other than a kludge involving recognizing its name).
I tried looking at ExecBase->DeviceList, but didn't get far because I
can't figure out what it's a list of; anyone know? I know it's a struct List,
and I know that the elements start with struct Node, but I can't figure
out what structure follows the Node. Yes, I RTFM but couldn't find it
anywhere, nor were hex dumps enlightening.
That may be barking up the wrong tree anyway, so: what's a good way to
match up handler tasks/procs and the devices they handle??
Or: what documentation *should* I be reading? So far I've looked in
the RKM (Exec and Device volumes), all of the include files, and AmigaMail...
no luck.
Thanks,
Doug
