API documentation
(1/1)
A. Demetrious Sharpe, Sr.:
Hello all,
I'm looking for documentation of OS/2's APIs. I know about the documentation project at EDM/2, but it's not complete. So, I'm trying to track down as much additional documentation as possible in order to create as complete of a set as possible. If you have any sources of insight for the missing documentation, please post about it in a comment here.

Hi Demetrious
The EDM/2 also has the links to the IBM API documentation.
Here it is the main page: http://www.edm2.com/index.php/List_of_OS/2_Documentation
And you can check the documents at:
http://www.edm2.com/index.php/IBM_OS/2_Warp_Development_Manuals
Regards

Thanks, Martin. I’ll give them a look. I’d definitely like to get as much API info as possible.

This information is invaluable. Thank you, Martin.
UPDATE:
Specifically:
(1) The OS/2 Debugging Handbook (First Edition)
(2) Kernel Debugger Reference.
I'm going to try to maintain some compatibility between my kernel debugger and the original one from IBM. I like the syntax they use for the different addressing modes:
--- Code: ---#1f:02c0 -- Protected mode address
&3450:1234 -- Real mode address
%310230 -- Linear address
%%310230 -- Physical address
--- End code ---
Very straight-forward and concise. I do plan to use color cues in my debugger as well.
