Ioctl Requests                                           hdio(7I)



NAME
     hdio - SMD and IPI disk control operations

SYNOPSIS
     #include 


DESCRIPTION
     Note -

       The SMC and IPI drivers have been  discontinued.  dkio(7I)
       is  now  the preferred method for retrieving disk informa-
       tion.


     The SMD and IPI disk drivers supplied with this release sup-
     port a set of ioctl(2) requests for diagnostics and bad sec-
     tor information. Basic to these  ioctl()  requests  are  the
     definitions in .

IOCTLS
     HDKIOCGTYPE    The argument  is  a  pointer  to  a  hdk_type
                    structure  (described  below).   This ioctl()
                    gets specific information from the hard disk.


     HDKIOCSTYPE    The argument  is  a  pointer  to  a  hdk_type
                    structure  (described  below).   This ioctl()
                    sets  specific  information  about  the  hard
                    disk.


       /*
        * Used for drive info
        */
       struct hdk_type {
        ushort_t  hdkt_hsect;    /* hard sector count (read only) */
        ushort_t  hdkt_promrev;  /* prom revision (read only) */
        uchar_t   hdkt_drtype;   /* drive type (ctlr specific) */
        uchar_t   hdkt_drstat;   /* drive status (ctlr specific, ro) */
       };


     HDKIOCGBAD    The argument is  a  pointer  to  a  hdk_badmap
                   structure  (described below).  This ioctl() is
                   used to get the bad sector map from the disk.


     HDKIOCSBAD    The argument is  a  pointer  to  a  hdk_badmap
                   structure  (described below).  This ioctl() is
                   used to set the bad sector map on the disk.

       /*

       struct hdk_badmap {
            caddr_t   hdkb_bufaddr;  /* address of user's map buffer */
       };


     HDKIOCGDIAG    The argument  is  a  pointer  to  a  hdk_diag
                    structure  (described  below).   This ioctl()
                    gets the  most  recent  command  that  failed
                    along  with  the sector and error number from
                    the hard disk.


       /*
        * Used for disk diagnostics
        */
       struct hdk_diag {
        ushort_t hdkd_errcmd;  /* most recent command in error */
        daddr_t  hdkd_errsect; /* most recent sector in error */
        uchar_t  hdkd_errno;   /* most recent error number */
        uchar_t  hdkd_severe;  /* severity of most recent error */
       };
