TEXTCLIP: URL: Directoriesĭirectories are the AmigaDOS equivalent to drawers in Workbench. SWAP: TCP: Represents Amiga's network resources. SYS: Represents the volume on which the Amiga looks for its basic disk-based resources, such as C: and LIBS.

Winuae command line serial#

RANDOM: RAW: SER: Represents any device connected to the serial port, such as a printer or a modem. All information in RAM: is lost if the Amiga is rebooted or turned off.

RAM: Represents the Ram Disk, which is a portion of the Amiga's internal memory that can be used as a storage device. Refer to Appendix C for detailed information. RAD: Represents a special kind of Ram Disk that is only lost if the system is turned off, but not when rebooted. Output to PRT: goes through the selected printer drive and to the serial or parallel port as specified in the Printer editor in the Prefs drawer. PIPE: PIPECON: PRT: Represents the printer. If you copy a file to PAR:, it is sent to the device attached to the parallel port. PAR: Represents any device, usually a printer, that is connected to the parallel port. ENV: NIL: Represents a dummy device commonly used to prevent output from appearing on the screen. DF0: Represents the Amiga's main internal floppy drive from which the Amiga attempts to boot if there is no other bootable device available. An asterisk (*) can also be used in place of CONSOLE. CONSOLE: Represents the current console window. The Shell window is one kind of console window. The standard device names are:ĪPPDIR: AUDIO: AUX: CON: Represents a console, which uses a window to accept typed input and display text output. Generally, these devices are used for output, such as copying a file to a printer. When you refer to the disk by a particular device name, the system uses whatever volume is inserted in that device.ĪmigaDOS has standard names assigned to peripheral devices that are attached to the various ports, as well as to various logical (software) devices. If it cannot find a volume of that name, a requester asks you to insert the volume. When you refer to a disk by volume name, the system searches all the available drives for the volume. Use the names interchangeably however, you must always include the colon (:) after the name.

To access files on a particular volume, you can refer to the volume by its volume name, such as Workbench:, or its device name, such as DF0. Information stored on these devices can be accessed using a variety of names. Figure 3-1 illustrates a directory tree.ĭevices include logical devices and the hardware associated with your Amiga, such as floppy disk drives, hard disk drives, the Ram Disk, RAD:, and peripheral devices. At th ends of the branches are the files, unless the directory is empty. The branches are directories, which can include subdirectories. Directories and files are arranged in a hierarchical system often referred to as a tree. File ManagementĪmigaDOS stores information on a device in a file system, which is an organization of directories, subdirectories, and files.

Winuae command line series#

Path The series of device, directory, and subdirectory names that uniquely specifies a particular file and its location. Subdirectory A directory that is contained within another directory. Root Directory The top of the filing system for a given volume the directory that contains all other directories. Directory Equivalent to a drawer in Workbench. Floppy disks and hard disk partitions are volumes. Volume A particular disk or subdivision of a hard disk that AmigaDOS treats as a separate device. Partition A hard disk or part of a hard disk that AmigaDOS treats as a separate device.

The following are the main elements of the AmigaDOS file system:ĭevice A physical device, such as disk drive or printer, or a software (logical) device, such as RAM: or the printer device PRT. Use this section to review the following AmigaDOS basic concepts: See the Workbench User's Guide for detailed information aboutthe Amiga file system and the use of common commands. Most notably, you do not use icons to manipulate the files and directories. This is the same system used by the Workbench, only the method of working with it is different. On an Amiga, all information is stored in a system of directories and files. In order to use AmigaDOS to access information, you must know where that information is located.
