5 pg.h defines the user interface to the generic ATAPI packet
6 command driver for parallel port ATAPI devices (pg). The
7 driver is loosely modelled after the generic SCSI driver, sg,
8 although the actual interface is different.
10 The pg driver provides a simple character device interface for
11 sending ATAPI commands to a device. With the exception of the
12 ATAPI reset operation, all operations are performed by a pair
13 of read and write operations to the appropriate /dev/pgN device.
14 A write operation delivers a command and any outbound data in
15 a single buffer. Normally, the write will succeed unless the
16 device is offline or malfunctioning, or there is already another
17 command pending. If the write succeeds, it should be followed
18 immediately by a read operation, to obtain any returned data and
19 status information. A read will fail if there is no operation
22 As a special case, the device can be reset with a write operation,
23 and in this case, no following read is expected, or permitted.
25 There are no ioctl() operations. Any single operation
26 may transfer at most PG_MAX_DATA bytes. Note that the driver must
27 copy the data through an internal buffer. In keeping with all
28 current ATAPI devices, command packets are assumed to be exactly
31 To permit future changes to this interface, the headers in the
32 read and write buffers contain a single character "magic" flag.
33 Currently this flag must be the character "P".
