NAME
     ses - SCSI enclosure services device driver

SYNOPSIS
     ses@target,lun


DESCRIPTION
     The ses device driver is an interface to SCSI enclosure ser-
     vices  devices. These devices sense and monitor the physical
     conditions in an enclosure as well as allow  access  to  the
     status reporting and configuration features of the enclosure
     (such as indicator LEDs on the enclosure.)


     ioctl(9E) calls can be issued to ses to determine the  state
     of the enclosure and to set parameters on the enclosure ser-
     vices device.


     No ses driver properties are defined. Use the ses.conf  file
     to configure the ses driver.

IOCTLS
     The SES driver currently supports the  SES,  SAFTE  and  SEN
     enclosure  service  chipsets.  SEN  and  SAFTE protocols are
     translated internally in the driver into SES compliant  data
     structures.  This  enables the SES driver to work seamlessly
     with  different protocols and eliminates the need to enhance
     user applications.

     SESIOC_GETNOBJ       Returns  an   unsigned   integer   that
                          represents   the  number  of  SES  data
                          structures in  the  enclosure  services
                          chip.


     SESIOC_GETOBJMAP     Returns   a   size   array   containing
                          ses_object     elements    communicated
                          through SESIOC_GETNOBJ(). ses_object is
                          defined in sesio.h.


     SESIOC_INIT          Instructs  the  device  to  perform   a
                          self-diagnostic  test.  Currently SES &
                          SEN devices always return success.


     SESIOC_GETENCSTAT    Returns  an  unsigned  character   that
                          represents  status enclosure as defined
                          by Table 25 in Section 7.1.2 of the SES
                          specification NCITS 305-199x.


     SESIOC_GETOBJSTAT    This ioctl is passed an ses_objarg con-
                          taining  the  obj_id  you  want to set,
                          then  fills  in  the  remaining  fields
                          according to element status page of the
                          SES specification.


     SESIOC_SETOBJSTAT    Sets options in the control field.  You
                          set  control  field  options by filling
                          out all  fields  in  ses_objarg.  Field
                          definitions  are  presented  in Section
                          7.2.2 of the SES specification.
