ABSTRACT:
In a multitasking data processing system for executing a plurality of independent processes and including at least one peripheral device, a peripheral manager is provided that includes the capability for providing a first set of data structures where these data structures are dependent upon the peripheral device, a second data structure where the second data structures are dependent upon each of the processes in the data processing system, and the capability for providing a process access to the peripheral device by combining the accesses to the first data structure and the second data structure, as appropriate.
