Could I have the Daemon-Tools API sent to me?

[stud3n7]

Hello,
could I have the Daemon-Tools API sent to me, please? I want to make a mounting tool.

Cause I like to put all my images in the same place, my tool will just read the predefined directory at startup. Then, the user will be able to do an intelligent find-as-you-type search on the images found.

I hereby promise not to make the Daemon-Tools API available to others.

Thanks for Daemon-Tools and for the API
Piet

Me too

I'd like to mount from an external script. is there anyway to get the API?

I dont think so because DT isnt open source.
You can try it and send an email/PM to LocutusofBorg.

I want to make a mounting tool.

Then use the command line switches. If you want to make your utility available to others, simply create an option dialog in which the user can set the path to daemon.exe.

That is surely sufficient.

Command Line Switces

-lock
used to lock the DLL operation to be sure no unauthorized program can load daemon.dll and use its functions. Used mainly in autostart (if 'Autolock' option is enabled), but can be used in command line too. Unlocking can be done from Virtual DAEMON manager or other GUI that is currently running. Note that locking has no effect on DAEMON Manager itself or other programs which have been 'authorized' by us to use the DLL.

-noicon
this option is used to prevent DAEMON Tools from creating a taskbar icon. It has no effect if DAEMON manager is already running or you specified another command (except 'lock') in the command line! DAEMON manager automatically exits after command is executed and does not create taskbar icon.

-mount
allows mounting images from command line (or shortcut).
Syntax is: -mount <n>,<path>
where 'n' means DVD-ROM device number ('0' - '3' allowed) and 'path' is the full path to the image file.
Example: daemon.exe -mount 0,"c:\My Images\nameofimage.cue".
Do not forget to set the path in quotes if it contains spaces!

-unmount
allows unmounting images from command line.
Syntax is: -unmount <n>
where 'n' means DVD-ROM device number ('0' - '3' allowed)

-safedisc ?
allows turning Safedisc emulation on/off from command line.
'-safedisc on' enables emulation, '-safedisc off' disables it

-securom ?
allows turning Securom emulation on/off from command line.
'-securom on' enables emulation, '-securom off' disables it

-laserlock ?
allows turning Laserlock emulation on/off from command line.
'-laserlok on' enables emulation, '-laserlok off' disables it.

-rmps ?
allows turning RMPS emulation on/off from command line.
'-rmps on' enables emulation, '-rmps off' disables it.

Thanks for replying, Nemerov. I should have mentioned that I considered using command line switches. However, I would like my tool to be aware which images are actually mounted on which drives. Afaik this is not possible with switches.

I intend to use the tool on some shared computers. Hence, other people might have changed the number of drives and the images mounted on them between two runs of the program. So it is impossible to keep track of the status, imho.
