This is the developer packet of Identify. You'll only need it if
you want to write programs using the features of identify.
Identify is a system shared library that identifies your system and
several IDs and returns them in a human readable form. Currently
implemented are:
expansions The manufacturer and product ID of hardware expansions are
translated into manufacturer name, board name and board
class.
system Your system is analyzed by identify.library. You can query
static values, as e. g. Amiga model, Processor, OS version,
Graphic OS (e. g. CyberGraphX), Audio OS (e. g. AHI) or
available memory (Virtual Memory is also supported).
alerts The cryptical alert codes can also be translated.
functions Decodes the offset of a shared library into it's function
name, provided you have got the .fd files.
Four example Shell tools are also included:
ListExp Analyses your system, searches for expansion boards and
optionally, shows what Commodities are available. This is
an easy way to describe your system for bug reports etc.
Guru Decodes a Guru number.
Function Returns the name of the function that matches to the
provided library name and offset.
InstallIfy Gives Installer scripts access to the Identify hardware
analyzer, e.g. to check if a PowerPC is present.
FEATURES:
-----------
- OS3.5 and BoingBag supported
- The complete expansion database consists of more than 400
expansion boards and 130 manufacturers.
- Distinguishes between most GVP and Phase5 boards with unique ID
- Tries to give at least a hint if the board name is not known yet
- Fully DraCo and PowerPC compatible
- Supports PowerUp and WarpOS
- The library is fully localized (catalogs included: deutsch)
- ARexx interface library
- English and German documentation (.guide and .dvi)
INCLUDED DEVELOPER FILES:
---------------------------
- AutoDocs
- Assembler include files
- C header files (also protos, pragmas, GCC inlines)
- PASCAL include files
- Maxon/HiSoft-BASIC include files
- Amiga-E include files
- FD file
- cd file for language translations
- C example showing how to use identify with MUI
- ARexx examples
- Installer examples
With your help, I hope to get as much expansion names as possible.
So please send the name, manufacturer ID, product ID and board class
of all your expansions to: "shred@chessy.aworld.de". You can get the
IDs with included tool ListExp or the example program "expansions".
Thank you!
