File system tree
OZ file system (FS) is a RAM FS. The memory allocated for the filesystem depends on one permanent handle (NQ_Fmh) open for all slots, avoiding swap area (MM_MUL | MM_FIX option bits set).
The tree roots are stored in the first page of bank $21 (R21_BNK). They define the devices : :RAM.0, :RAM.- and :EPR.0-3. Tree root of :RAM.1 is in bank $40, :RAM.2 in $80 and :RAM.3 in $C0.
The structure of the root is a minimal DOR containing father, brother, son, device major type and its name.
The son of the device is a node which structure is a file DOR. Its type is a minor type : file (Dn_Fil), directory (Dn_Dir), virtual file (Dn_Epr). Those nodes are linked each other according the file system tree using the father/brother/son pointers.
For the file type (Dn_Fil and Dn_Epr) the son points to a memory page allocated for the file system. The pointer is not an extended 24 bits pointer as usual, only 16 bits are used. Conversion from memory pointer (BHL) to file pointer (DE) is as follows :
B H L
dddddddd 00eeeeee ee000000
The file pointer points to the first sector. A sector is 62+2 bytes length. Two bytes for the link to the next followed by 62 bytes of data. When the sector is the last one, the first byte is zero followed by the sector length. Each page allocated to the file system holds up to 4 sectors (or 1 DOR and 3 sectors...).
File DOR
The file DOR length is up to 64 bytes. Its layout is fixed and should respect the specified order. It contains father, brother and son followed by file informations consisting of a key, data length, data.
