Reversing libdisk, a useful IRIX library

RE: Reversing libdisk, a useful IRIX library
I believe that everything that I need here to make a simple mount command is contained in the header. I am picking up my old Mount code over the next couple of days and I will be reviewing it and seeing how it compiles as I expand it. Again it's probably at first not going to be a one-to-one replacement, as the mount command for IRIX contains a LOT of NFS code (based on what libraries it links to and uses for function calls)
which at this time I have no interest in making work because of my lack of understanding of how that works quite yet. It should be good enough however for eventually bringing in code not only from File Looper, but other drivers that would be nice (e.g. EXT2, FAT32, maybe even NTFS or F2FS (FAT64 aka ExFAT is still patented iirc))

I also began looking with my RE friend Endeavour at some other small libraries and commands. I'm aware of some of this isn't say, reverse engineering a graphics driver but everything is integral into working up to that. I certainly don't know the first thing about the DMA or other memory aspects of even simple graphics drivers.

Technical problems should be sent my way.
