About the templates
This is a complete set of templates for the Apple IIGS system software 5.0.2.
It includes templates for almost all toolbox records, GS/OS parameter blocks,
FST specific parameter blocks, and ProDOS 16 parameter blocks. GSBug cannot
support variable length data structures, so those data structures were either
implemented partially (up to the point where the structure becomes variable
length) or were not included.
Very briefly, here's how to use the templates:
Type "LoadTemp GSBug.Templates" to load the template file.
Type "_name address" to view the memory starting at 'address' through the
template specified by 'name'.
About the help templates
Help templates are included in GSBug.Templates, so you don't have to remember
what data structures are templated or how to spell the template names. A help
template will display a list of template names for the toolset or part of the
operating system you specify.
Type "_Templates 0" to see the names of all the toolsets and operating
system parts. For example, with this release, you'll see this:
Templates
ADB
AppleShareFST
Controls
Dialogs
Events
Fonts
GSOS
HighSierraFST
LineEdit
Lists
Locator
Menus
MiscTool
NoteSeq
NoteSyn
Print
ProDOS16
ProDOSFST
QDAux
QuickDraw
Resources
SANE
Sound
StdFile
TextEdit
Windows
Type "_toolSetName 0" where toolSetName is one of the names shown by
"_Templates 0" to list the template names for that toolset or operating
system part. For example, to see the templates for the Print Manager,
you'd type "_Print 0" and you'd see this:
Print
PrInfoRec
PrJobRec
PrRec
PrStatusRec
PrStyleRec
About template formatting characters
Several of the data structures included in this template file have
substructures imbedded in them (for example, in a GrafPort, the portInfo
field is a LocInfo structure). To highlight the substructure fields in a
structure, I've prefixed each field name with a ">" character. For example,
here's what the GrafPort template looks like:
_START GrafPort
portInfo(LocInfo)
>portSCB WORD
>ptrToPixImage LONG
>width WORD
>boundsRect WORD 4
