From: MetcalJM AT utrc DOT utc DOT com Subject: What part of Cygwin API code handles raw device access? 22 Apr 1998 18:36:25 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Hi, I'm interested in writing an MSDOS 16-bit tool that behaves exactly like the UNIX dd, and has access to raw devices (both floppy and hard disk). I imagine that I might be able to adapt some of the 32-bit Cygwin32 code, or at least learn from it. If somebody could point me to the right portion of the cygwin32 b-19.1 code that handles the /dev/fd0 raw device access, I would be very grateful. Incidentally, I have done a moderate search of the FAQ and mailing list archives and found no mention of where to find this code, or if the current cygwin32 b-19.1 code has raw device access to harddisks as well as floppy disks. Finally, if somebody knows of a 16-bit DOS utility that does what I'm looking to write, please let me know. Why should I re-invent the wheel? Thanks, JM > ------------- > Jeffrey M.
