# DosLibrary — Structure and Global State
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
`dos.library` is opened by nearly every Amiga program. The library base `DOSBase` is a `struct DosLibrary` that extends `struct Library` with process-level state, the root node, and handler management.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## struct DosLibrary
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* dos/dosextens.h — NDK39 */
|
||||
struct DosLibrary {
|
||||
struct Library dl_lib; /* standard Library header */
|
||||
struct RootNode *dl_Root; /* pointer to the system root node */
|
||||
APTR dl_GV; /* BCPL global vector */
|
||||
LONG dl_A2; /* BCPL scratch */
|
||||
LONG dl_A5; /* BCPL scratch */
|
||||
LONG dl_A6; /* BCPL scratch */
|
||||
struct ErrorString *dl_Errors; /* error string table */
|
||||
struct timerequest *dl_TimeReq; /* timer.device request */
|
||||
struct Library *dl_UtilityBase; /* cached UtilityBase */
|
||||
struct Library *dl_IntuitionBase;/* cached IntuitionBase */
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## struct RootNode
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
struct RootNode {
|
||||
BPTR rn_TaskArray; /* BPTR to CLI task array */
|
||||
BPTR rn_ConsoleSegment; /* console handler segment */
|
||||
struct DateStamp rn_Time; /* current system time */
|
||||
LONG rn_RestartSeg; /* restart segment */
|
||||
BPTR rn_Info; /* BPTR to DosInfo */
|
||||
BPTR rn_FileHandlerSegment;
|
||||
struct MinList rn_CliList; /* list of CLI processes */
|
||||
/* ... OS 3.x additions ... */
|
||||
ULONG rn_BootFlags;
|
||||
APTR rn_BootProc;
|
||||
};
|
||||
```

|
||||
## Opening dos.library
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
struct DosLibrary *DOSBase;
|
||||
DOSBase = (struct DosLibrary *)OpenLibrary("dos.library", 40);
|
||||
if (!DOSBase) { /* OS 3.1 or later required */ }
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## BCPL Heritage
|
||||
|
||||
AmigaDOS was originally written in BCPL. Artifacts remain:
|
||||
- **BPTR** — pointers right-shifted by 2 (`real = bptr << 2`)
|
||||
- `dl_GV` — BCPL global vector (used internally by filesystem handlers)
|
||||
- File handles and locks are BPTRs, not real pointers
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* Convert BPTR to C pointer: */
|
||||
#define BADDR(bptr) ((APTR)((ULONG)(bptr) << 2))
|
||||
```
