*ARMEdit_DevicesRelog | |||
Discard the device driver directory cache | |||
Syntax: | *ARMEdit_DevicesRelog [-now] | ||
Parameters: | -now | force immediate reset | |
Use: |
Force a relog of the RISC OS directory structure. This releases most of the memory claimed to support device driver operation and closes open files.
Note that this may not take immediate effect - DOS must acknowledge a change of disc before any relog occurs. This normally occurs if no files are open on the device, and a simple operation (such as typing DIR) is performed on the drive. Note that each emulated device is treated seperately; some devices may be reset before others. The -now switch forces an immediate reset. This should only be used if essential, and must never be used in the middle of a disc access, otherwise DOS could be confused by an inconsistent disc image. It can be useful to call this from the DOS command line using the OSCLI command (supplied as part of the ARMEdit suite) - perhaps it should be placed in a DOS batch file for easier use. | ||
