Detailed Description

Information about a LICK directory.

LICK directories should be found on the root of a drive. Inside, there are a few subdirectories - to allow flexibility with the names of these folders, they are stored in a lickdir_t structure.

Function Documentation

void free_lickdir

(

lickdir_t *

l

)

free the memory a lickdir_t is using

Parameters

l	the lickdir_t to free

lickdir_t* get_lickdir

(

)

returns a suitable LICK directory

Looks at the path to the binary currently being run, and determines if a res directory exists. If so, returns a lickdir_t corresponding to the directory. If not, returns NULL. This is to prevent later errors while installing the loader, and to prevent users from running an interface alone, for example directly from a zip file

Returns

a lickdir_t filled with needed info. If the current directory is an invalid LICK directory, returns NULL.

lickdir_t* new_lickdir	(	char	drive,
		char *	entry,
		char *	res

Each parameter must be allocated on the heap. The parameters are no longer valid after the call, and must not be freed

Parameters

drive	the drive to install the boot loader to
entry	the entry subdirectory
res	the resource subdirectory

Returns

a new lickdir_t. Must be freed with free_lickdir
