+Summary of CDROM ioctl calls
+============================
+
+- Edward A. Falk <efalk@google.com>
+
+November, 2004
+
+This document attempts to describe the ioctl(2) calls supported by
+the CDROM layer. These are by-and-large implemented (as of Linux 2.6)
+in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c and drivers/block/scsi_ioctl.c
+
+ioctl values are listed in <linux/cdrom.h>. As of this writing, they
+are as follows:

+
+
+The information that follows was determined from reading kernel source
+code. It is likely that some corrections will be made over time.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+General:
+
+ Unless otherwise specified, all ioctl calls return 0 on success
+ and -1 with errno set to an appropriate value on error. (Some
+ ioctls return non-negative data values.)
+
+ Unless otherwise specified, all ioctl calls return -1 and set
+ errno to EFAULT on a failed attempt to copy data to or from user
+ address space.
+
+ Individual drivers may return error codes not listed here.
+
+ Unless otherwise specified, all data structures and constants
+ are defined in <linux/cdrom.h>

+ enable(1)/disable(0) auto-ejecting
+
+
+ usage::
+
+ int val;
+
+ ioctl(fd, CDROMEJECT_SW, val);
+
+ inputs:
+ Flag specifying auto-eject flag.
+
+
+ outputs:
+ none
+
+
+ error return:
+ - ENOSYS Drive is not capable of ejecting.
+ - EBUSY Door is locked

+ none
+
+
+ outputs:
+ Universal Product Code
+
+
+ error return:
+ - ENOSYS Drive is not capable of reading MCN data.
+
+ notes:
+ - Source code comments state::
+
+ The following function is implemented, although very few
+ audio discs give Universal Product Code information, which
+ should just be the Medium Catalog Number on the box. Note,
+ that the way the code is written on the CD is /not/ uniform
+ across all discs!
+
+
+

+
+ error returns:

+
+ notes:
+ - Source code comments state::
+
+
+ Ok, this is where problems start. The current interface for
+ the CDROM_DISC_STATUS ioctl is flawed. It makes the false
+ assumption that CDs are all CDS_DATA_1 or all CDS_AUDIO, etc.
+ Unfortunately, while this is often the case, it is also
+ very common for CDs to have some tracks with data, and some
+ tracks with audio. Just because I feel like it, I declare
+ the following to be the best way to cope. If the CD has
+ ANY data tracks on it, it will be returned as a data CD.
+ If it has any XA tracks, I will return it as that. Now I
+ could simplify this interface by combining these returns with
+ the above, but this more clearly demonstrates the problem
+ with the current interface. Too bad this wasn't designed
+ to use bitmasks... -Erik
+
+ Well, now we have the option CDS_MIXED: a mixed-type CD.
+ User level programmers might feel the ioctl is not very
+ useful.
