Hi,

I am trying to understand ImDisk source code. Do we have any design documentation available for it? Moreover, I could not find user help documentation other than the ImDisk man pages. I am more interested in a user document that describes some sample uses of ImDisk and explain its various features.

Hi,

There is no particular design documentation for the source code. However, both the driver code and user mode code have lots of comments in most places which should make it fairly easy to follow. The basic design is demand-created device objects with one system service thread each. These threads are responsible for most of the tasks in the driver, however a few controls are handled directly in the context of the calling applications.

Unfortunately there is no other usage documentation than the command line help text and various posts and responses in this forum.

Feel free to post any questions! You are also more than welcome help this project by writing documenation!
