For example, a SET_FOO ioctl would +be _IOW, although the kernel would actually read data from user space; +a GET_FOO ioctl would be _IOR, although the kernel would actually write +data to user space. + +The first argument to _IO, _IOW, _IOR, or _IOWR is an identifying letter +or number from the table below. Because of the large number of drivers, +many drivers share a partial letter with other drivers. + +If you are writing a driver for a new device and need a letter, pick an +unused block with enough room for expansion: 32 to 256 ioctl commands. +You can register the block by patching this file and submitting the +patch to Linus Torvalds. Or you can e-mail me at <mec@shout.net> and +I'll register one for you. + +The second argument to _IO, _IOW, _IOR, or _IOWR is a sequence number +to distinguish ioctls from each other. The third argument to _IOW, +_IOR, or _IOWR is the type of the data going into the kernel or coming +out of the kernel (e.g. 'int' or 'struct foo'). NOTE! Do NOT use +sizeof(arg) as the third argument as this results in your ioctl thinking +it passes an argument of type size_t. + +Some devices use their major number as the identifier; this is OK, as +long as it is unique. Some devices are irregular and don't follow any +convention at all. + +Following this convention is good because: + +(1) Keeping the ioctl's globally unique helps error checking: + if a program calls an ioctl on the wrong device, it will get an + error rather than some unexpected behaviour. + +(2) The 'strace' build procedure automatically finds ioctl numbers + defined with _IO, _IOW, _IOR, or _IOWR. + +(3) 'strace' can decode numbers back into useful names when the + numbers are unique. + +(4) People looking for ioctls can grep for them more easily when + this convention is used to define the ioctl numbers. + +(5) When following the convention, the driver code can use generic + code to copy the parameters between user and kernel space. + +This table lists ioctls visible from user land for Linux/x86. It contains +most drivers up to 2.6.31, but I know I am missing some. There has been +no attempt to list non-X86 architectures or ioctls from drivers/staging/. + +==== ===== ======================================================= ================================================================ +Code Seq# Include File Comments + (hex) +==== ===== ======================================================= ================================================================ +0x00 00-1F linux/fs.h conflict!
