- Short: Notifies about programs patching libs V0.1
- Author: Christian.Wasner@hamburg.netsurf.de
- Uploader: Christian.Wasner@hamburg.netsurf.de
- Type: util/misc
-
- Description:
-
- LibWatch is a program that notifies the user about library function
- patches done by SetFunction(). The patch will not be disabled. This
- may be useful when you want to know which program patches which
- library routines, especially when booting. Don't be confused by the
- version 0.1, it's fully functional as long as the LIBRARY parameter is
- specified as SETFUNC (see below). Don't call LibWatch from Workbench,
- it will crash. Starting via IconX or via Amiga-E from the Workbench
- menu is OK. The program can be aborted by sending a CTRL-C signal to
- it.
-
- Note that "library" is meant in a broader meaning. It also includes
- devices and resoures which are special types of libraries. If the
- library functions of these are patched with SetFunction(), LibWatch
- will notice this.
-
- Compatibility:
-
- All Amigas with Kickstart 2.02 (V36) or higher.
-
- Template: LibWatch LIBRARY/A
-
- LIBRARY - Currently this must be set to SETFUNC (case-insensitive, of
- course), i.e. the standard routine for library patching is
- watched. It is planned to directly watch the jump table of a
- particular library, but this is not yet supported.
-
- Installation:
-
- Copy to C:
-
- Example of usage:
-
- 1> run LibWatch >CON:50/50/400/200/LibWatch SETFUNC
-
- This will open a console window and output all patches to all
- libraries via SetFunction().
