An argument type of 'const struct foo *' means the argument is input to the kernel. 'struct foo *' means the kernel outputs the argument. If the kernel uses the argument for both input and output, this is marked with // I-O. Some ioctls take more arguments or return more values than a single structure. These are marked // MORE and documented further in a separate section. This list is incomplete. It does not include: -- Ioctls defined internal to the kernel ('scsi_ioctl.h'). -- Ioctls defined in modules distributed separately from the kernel. And, of course, I may have errors and omissions. Please e-mail changes and comments to <mec@duracef.shout.net>. I am particularly interested in loadable modules which define their own ioctls. If you know of such a module, tell me where I can ftp it, and I'll include its ioctls in my next release. // Main table. // <include/asm-i386/socket.h> 0x00008901 FIOSETOWN const int * 0x00008902

Some ioctl's take a pointer to a structure which contains additional pointers. These are documented here in alphabetical order. CDROMREADAUDIO takes an input pointer 'const struct cdrom_read_audio *'. The 'buf' field points to an output buffer of length CDROMREADCOOKED, CDROMREADMODE1, CDROMREADMODE2, and CDROMREADRAW take EQL_ENSLAVE const struct slaving_request * EQL_EMANCIPATE const struct slaving_request * EQL_GETSLAVECFG struct slave_config * // I-O EQL_SETSLAVECFG const struct slave_config * EQL_GETMASTERCFG struct master_config * EQL_SETMASTERCFG const struct master_config * FDRAWCMD takes a 'struct floppy raw_cmd *'. If 'flags & FD_RAW_WRITE' is non-zero, then 'data' points to an input buffer of length 'length'. If 'flags & FD_RAW_READ' is non-zero, then 'data' points to an output buffer of length 'length'. GIO_FONTX and PIO_FONTX take a 'struct console_font_desc *' or a a buffer of 'char [charcount]'. This is an output buffer for GIO_FONTX and an input buffer for PIO_FONTX. GIO_UNIMAP and PIO_UNIMAP take a 'struct unimapdesc *' or a of 'struct unipair [entry_ct]'. This is an output buffer for GIO_UNIMAP and an input buffer for PIO_UNIMAP. KDADDIO, KDDELIO, KDDISABIO, and KDENABIO enable or disable access to I/O ports. They are essentially alternate interfaces to 'ioperm'. KDMAPDISP and KDUNMAPDISP enable or disable memory mappings or I/O port access. They are not implemented in the kernel. SCSI_IOCTL_PROBE_HOST takes an input pointer 'const int *', which is a length. It uses the same pointer as an output pointer to a 'char []' buffer of this length. SIOCADDRT and SIOCDELRT take an input pointer whose type depends on the protocol: Most protocols const struct rtentry * AX.25 const struct ax25_route * NET/ROM const struct nr_route_struct * SIOCGIFCONF takes a 'struct ifconf *'. The 'ifc_buf' field points to a buffer of length 'ifc_len' bytes, into which the kernel writes a list of type 'struct ifreq []'. SIOCSIFHWADDR takes an input pointer whose type depends on the protocol: Most protocols const struct ifreq * AX.25 const char [AX25_ADDR_LEN] TIOCLINUX takes a 'const char *'. It uses this to distinguish several independent sub-cases. In the table below, 'N + foo' means 'foo' after an N-byte pad. 'struct selection' is implicitly defined in TIOCLINUX-2 1 + const struct selection * SIOCPROTOPRIVATE. 0x00000001 FDSETPRM FIBMAP 0x00000002 FDDEFPRM FIGETBSZ 0x00005382 CDROMAUDIOBUFSIZ SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN 0x00005402 SNDCTL_TMR_START TCSETS 0x00005403 SNDCTL_TMR_STOP TCSETSW 0x00005404 SNDCTL_TMR_CONTINUE TCSETSF
