Warning ! None of the fields of the structure below must be modified directly. In this case,
i can not tell how will behave the library. Unless specified, read access
is of course allowed.

The dynamic memory allocation/releasing is done by the library (i hope :).

real device name like "|F:" for the Win32 F: partition. <BR>
The real device name is plateform dependent.
<H2>Return values</H2>
NULL if an error occurs, a Device structure pointer instead.

<B>RETCODE</B> adfCreateHd(<B>struct Device*</B> dev, <B>int</B> nPart,

<H2>Description</H2>
Create the filesystem of a device which will be used as an Harddisk.
<I>AdfMount()</I> must be used after to mount
a volume (partition).
<P>
In case of a new ADF dump, <I>adfCreateDumpDevice()</I> must be called before to
create an empty media of the right size.
<P>
An Harddisk ADF dump created with ADFlib -can not be- used back by the AmigaDOS,
since some fields of the header structures are missing : they can not be
automatically determined.
<H2>Return values</H2>
RC_OK, or Something different in case of error.
<H2>Examples</H2>
Creation of an ADF Zip disk dump : <BR>

<B>RETCODE</B> adfCreateFlop(<B>struct Device*</B> dev,

<H2>Description</H2>
