Introduction

The ADFlib is a portable C library designed to manage Amiga formatted devices
like harddisks and ZIP disks, or dump files of this kind of media via
the .ADF format.

The API permit you to : 

- mount/unmount/create a device (real one or a dump file), 
- mount/unmount/create a volume (partition), 
- create/open/close/delete/rename/move a file, 
- read/write bytes from/to a file,
- create/delete/rename/move a directory, 
- get directory contents, change current directory, get parent directory 
- use dir cache to get directory contents. 

A callbacks system make easy to write the real device driver for any platform.
The ADFOpus ( here) application (a useful Windows Explorer like for ADF files
and devices), written by Dan Sutherland is able to access from Win95/98/NT
an 2.5 inches harddisk formatted under AmigaDos. Dan wrote the specific driver
for ADFlib, and gave me a lot of feedback which helped to design the library. 

The same redirection system is used to display error/warning/verboses messages
and support notification on the target platform.
