  • Device Manager 1
    CHAPTER 1 Device Manager 1 This chapter describes how your application can use the Device Manager to transfer information into and out of a Macintosh computer. The Device Manager controls the 1 exchange of information between applications and hardware devices. Manager Device This chapter provides a brief introduction to devices and device drivers (the programs that control devices) and then explains how you can use the Device Manager functions to ■ open, close, and exchange information with device drivers ■ write your own device driver that can communicate with the Device Manager ■ provide a user interface for your device driver by making it a Chooser extension or desk accessory. You should read the sections “About the Device Manager” and “Using the Device Manager” if your application needs to use the Device Manager to communicate with a device driver. Applications often communicate with the Device Manager indirectly, by calling functions of other managers (for example, the File Manager) that use the Device Manager. However, sometimes applications must call Device Manager functions directly. The sections “Writing a Device Driver,” “Writing a Chooser-Compatible Device Driver,” and “Writing a Desk Accessory,” provide information you’ll need if you are writing your own device driver. If you writing a device driver, you should understand how memory is organized and allocated in Macintosh computers. See Inside Macintosh: Memory, for this information. You should also be familiar with resources and how the system searches resource files. You can find this information in the chapter “Resource Manager” in Inside Macintosh: More Macintosh Toolbox. If your device driver is to perform background tasks, you’ll need to understand how processes are scheduled.

  • IM: F: Introduction to Files
    CHAPTER 1 Introduction to File Management 1 This chapter is a general introduction to file management on Macintosh computers. It explains the basic structure of Macintosh files and the hierarchical file system (HFS) used 1 with Macintosh computers, and it shows how you can use the services provided by the Introduction to File Management Standard File Package, the File Manager, the Finder, and other system software components to create, open, update, and close files. You should read this chapter if your application implements the commands typically found in an application’s File menu—except for printing commands and the Quit command, which are described elsewhere. This chapter describes how to ■ create a new file ■ open an existing file ■ close a file ■ save a document’s data in a file ■ save a document’s data in a file under a new name ■ revert to the last saved version of a file ■ create and read a preferences file Depending on the requirements of your application, you may be able to accomplish all your file-related operations by following the instructions given in this chapter. If your application has more specialized file management needs, you’ll need to read some or all of the remaining chapters in this book. This chapter assumes that your application is running in an environment in which the routines that accept file system specification records (defined by the FSSpec data type) are available. File system specification records, introduced in system software version 7.0, simplify the identification of objects in the file system. Your development environment may provide “glue” that allows you to call those routines in earlier system software versions.

  • Macintosh Folder File Limits Determining Which Macintosh File
    FL 520 - File Manager Overview Q&As Page: 1 NOTE: This Technical Note has been retired. Please see the Technical Notes page for current documentation. CONTENTS This Technical Note contains a collection of archived Q&As relating to a specific Macintosh folder file limits topic--questions sent the Developer Support Center (DSC) along with answers from the Determining which Macintosh File Manager calls are available DSC engineers. Current Q&As can be found System 7.0 DAs and 'vers' resources on the Macintosh Technical Q&As web site. Downloadables [Oct 01 1990] Macintosh folder file limits Date Written: 11/9/92 Last reviewed: 6/14/93 What (if at all) is the limitation on the number of files in a folder? In other words, is there a number N, such that if I have N files in a folder, and I try to Create file number N+1, I'll get some error? ___ In general, the number of files that can be put in an HFS directory is unlimited; there isn't any point at which you'll receive an error from Create, because new file description records can almost always be created. The only way you can get a disk full error back from Create is if the catalog file needs to grow to add your new record and the disk is full, but this should be extremely rare; even when the disk is full, there's generally room to create dozens of files or folders before the catalog file will need to be enlarged, as it's grown in relatively large chunks.

  • C:Macintosh Update
    - .. C: Macintosh Update Macintosh has changed a little since the enclosed manuals were printed. This manual update lets you know about improvements to the Finder and MacWrite. It also describes a new Font and Desk Accessory Mover and the Choose Printer desk accessory that are now included on the System Disk. You can put this update aside for now; you don't really need to know about the changes it describes until you've been working with Macintosh for a while. Most of the changes just give you more speed and power in using your Macintosh. • See Macintosh, your owner's guide, to find out how Macintosh works in general. • See the MacPaint and MacWrite manuals to find out how those applications work. • You can also take a guided tour or two, to let the Macintosh demonstrate itself. Updating Other Disks Each enclosed disk includes the new Finder and other system changes; other applications you purchase may not You might want to update each of your startup disks with the new Finder and other system changes. To update applications such as MacProject, MacDraw, or MacTerminal, replace their System Folders by copying the System Folder from the enclosed System Disk. See "Copying a Document, Folder, or Application to a Different Disk" in Macintosh, the owner's guide. Here are a few guid��ines about updating other disks: . • Before you replace a disk's System Folder, make a backup copy of the disk. See "Copying an Entire Disk" in Macintosh, the owner's guide. • Start up your Macintosh using one of the enclosed disks rather than thedisk whose System Folder you want to replace; you can't replace the System Folder of the current startup disk.

  • Enablers, Installers, and Apple Extras
    Chapter 5 Enablers, Installers, and Apple Extras IN THIS CHAPTER: I The other crud in your System Folder: Enablers, System Updates, and more I Details on the automatic System Folder subfolders I A few words about the System file I Apple Extras I The Installer nobody knows That handful of control panels, extensions, and DAs described in the preced- ing two chapters doesn’t completely explain why a System 7.5 System Folder can consume 30MB of your hard drive — 80MB or more if you have, for example, a Language Kit or most of System 7.6’s goodies installed. Your Mac comes with a lot of other fascinating software, too — and the flood doesn’t stop: Every few months, Apple releases some Updater or other, which you’re supposed to know about, get, and install. Your Mac even comes with some software the Installer doesn’t install; those additional programs get left behind on the original System software disks, or dumped into an unex- plained folder on your hard drive called Apple Extras. All of it is worth know- ing about. 181 182 Part I: System Software Revealed THE SYSTEM FOLDER FOLDERS System 7 greatly reduced the cluttered, no-nested-folders setup of System 6. System 7 introduced a set of standard folders within the System Folder (see Figure 5-1): one each for Extensions (INITs), Control Panels, Preferences, Fonts (in System 7.1 and later), Apple Menu Items, PrintMonitor Documents, Startup Items, Shutdown Items (System 7.5), and Launcher Items (System 7.5). Depending on your model and System version, you may also have folders that collect things such as Speakable Items and Control Strip Modules.
