NAME
- CachePostDMA
-
Take actions after to hardware DMA (V37)
SYNOPSIS
CachePostDMA(vaddress,&length,flags)
CachePostDMA(APTR,LONG *,ULONG);
A0 A1 D0
FUNCTION
Take all appropriate steps after Direct Memory Access (DMA). This function is primarily intended for writers of DMA device drivers. The action will depend on the CPU type installed, caching modes, and the state of any Memory Management Unit (MMU) activity.

INPUTS
- address
-
Same as initially passed to CachePreDMA
- length
-
Same as initially passed to CachePreDMA
- flags
-
Values: DMA_NoModify - If the area was not modified (and
thus there is no reason to flush the cache) set this bit.
- DMA_ReadFromRAM
-
Indicates that this DMA is a read from RAM to the DMA device (ie - a write to the hard drive) This flag is not required but if used must match in both the PreDMA and PostDMA calls. This flag *should* be used to help the system provide the best performance. This flag is safe in all versions of CachePostDMA()
