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#(hex) Include File Comments +======================================================== +0x00 00-1F linux/fs.h conflict! +0x00 00-1F scsi/scsi_ioctl.h conflict! +0x00 00-1F linux/fb.h conflict! +0x00 00-1F linux/wavefront.h conflict! +0x02 all linux/fd.h +0x03 all linux/hdreg.h +0x04 D2-DC linux/umsdos_fs.h Dead since 2.6.11, but don't reuse these. +0x06 all linux/lp.h +0x09 all linux/raid/md_u.h +0x10 00-0F drivers/char/s390/vmcp.h +0x10 10-1F arch/s390/include/uapi/sclp_ctl.h +0x10 20-2F arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/hypfs.h +0x12 all linux/fs.h + linux/blkpg.h +0x1b all InfiniBand Subsystem <http://infiniband.sourceforge.net/> +0x20 all drivers/cdrom/cm206.h +0x22 all scsi/sg.h +'#' 00-3F IEEE 1394 Subsystem Block for the entire subsystem +'$' 00-0F linux/perf_counter.h, linux/perf_event.h +'&' 00-07 drivers/firewire/nosy-user.h +'1' 00-1F <linux/timepps.h> PPS kit from Ulrich Windl + <ftp://ftp.de.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/ntp/PPS/> +'2' 01-04 linux/i2o.h +'3' 00-0F drivers/s390/char/raw3270.h conflict! +'3' 00-1F linux/suspend_ioctls.h conflict! + and kernel/power/user.c +'8' all SNP8023 advanced NIC card + <mailto:mcr@solidum.com> +';' 64-7F linux/vfio.h +'@' 00-0F linux/radeonfb.h conflict! +'@' 00-0F drivers/video/aty/aty128fb.c conflict! +'A' 00-1F linux/apm_bios.h conflict! +'A' 00-0F linux/agpgart.h conflict! + and drivers/char/agp/compat_ioctl.h +'A' 00-7F sound/asound.h conflict! +'B' 00-1F linux/cciss_ioctl.h conflict! +'B' 00-0F include/linux/pmu.h conflict! +'B' C0-FF advanced bbus + <mailto:maassen@uni-freiburg.de> +'C' all linux/soundcard.h conflict! +'C' 01-2F linux/capi.h conflict! +'C' F0-FF drivers/net/wan/cosa.h conflict! +'D' all arch/s390/include/asm/dasd.h +'D' 40-5F drivers/scsi/dpt/dtpi_ioctl.h +'D' 05 drivers/scsi/pmcraid.h +'E' all linux/input.h conflict! +'E' 00-0F xen/evtchn.h conflict! +'F' all linux/fb.h conflict! +'F' 01-02 drivers/scsi/pmcraid.h conflict! +'F' 20 drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.h conflict! +'F' 20 drivers/video/intelfb/intelfb.h conflict! +'F' 20 linux/ivtvfb.h conflict! +'F' 20 linux/matroxfb.h conflict! +'F' 20 drivers/video/aty/atyfb_base.c conflict! +'F' 00-0F video/da8xx-fb.h conflict! +'F' 80-8F linux/arcfb.h conflict! +'F' DD video/sstfb.h conflict! +'G' 00-3F drivers/misc/sgi-gru/grulib.h conflict! +'G' 00-0F linux/gigaset_dev.h conflict! +'H' 00-7F linux/hiddev.h conflict! +'H' 00-0F linux/hidraw.h conflict! +'H' 01 linux/mei.h conflict! +'H' 00-0F sound/asound.h conflict! +'H' 20-40 sound/asound_fm.h conflict! +'H' 80-8F sound/sfnt_info.h conflict! +'H' 10-8F sound/emu10k1.h conflict! +'H' 10-1F sound/sb16_csp.h conflict! +'H' 10-1F sound/hda_hwdep.h conflict! +'H' 40-4F sound/hdspm.h conflict! +'H' 40-4F sound/hdsp.h conflict! +'H' 90 sound/usb/usx2y/usb_stream.h +'H' A0 uapi/linux/usb/cdc-wdm.h +'H' C0-F0 net/bluetooth/hci.h conflict! +'H' C0-DF net/bluetooth/hidp/hidp.h conflict! +'H' C0-DF net/bluetooth/cmtp/cmtp.h conflict! +'H' C0-DF net/bluetooth/bnep/bnep.h conflict! +'H' F1 linux/hid-roccat.h <mailto:erazor_de@users.sourceforge.net> +'H' F8-FA sound/firewire.h +'I' all linux/isdn.h conflict! +'I' 00-0F drivers/isdn/divert/isdn_divert.h conflict! +'I' 40-4F linux/mISDNif.h conflict! +'J' 00-1F drivers/scsi/gdth_ioctl.h +'K' all linux/kd.h +'L' 00-1F linux/loop.h conflict! +'L' 10-1F drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_ctl.h conflict! +'L' E0-FF linux/ppdd.h encrypted disk device driver + <http://linux01.gwdg.de/~alatham/ppdd.html> +'M' all linux/soundcard.h conflict! +'M' 01-16 mtd/mtd-abi.h conflict! + and drivers/mtd/mtdchar.c +'M' 01-03 drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas.h +'M' 00-0F drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.h conflict! +'N' 00-1F drivers/usb/scanner.h +'N' 40-7F drivers/block/nvme.c +'O' 00-06 mtd/ubi-user.h UBI +'P' all linux/soundcard.h conflict! +'P' 60-6F sound/sscape_ioctl.h conflict! +'P' 00-0F drivers/usb/class/usblp.c conflict! +'Q' all linux/soundcard.h +'R' 00-1F linux/random.h conflict! +'R' 01 linux/rfkill.h conflict! +'R' C0-DF net/bluetooth/rfcomm.h +'S' all linux/cdrom.h conflict! +'S' 80-81 scsi/scsi_ioctl.h conflict! +'S' 82-FF scsi/scsi.h conflict! +'S' 00-7F sound/asequencer.h conflict! +'T' all linux/soundcard.h conflict! +'T' 00-AF sound/asound.h conflict! +'T' all arch/x86/include/asm/ioctls.h conflict! +'T' C0-DF linux/if_tun.h conflict! +'U' all sound/asound.h conflict! +'U' 00-CF linux/uinput.h conflict! +'U' 00-EF linux/usbdevice_fs.h +'U' C0-CF drivers/bluetooth/hci_uart.h +'V' all linux/vt.h conflict! +'V' all linux/videodev2.h conflict! +'V' C0 linux/ivtvfb.h conflict! +'V' C0 linux/ivtv.h conflict! +'V' C0 media/davinci/vpfe_capture.h conflict! +'V' C0 media/si4713.h conflict! +'W' 00-1F linux/watchdog.h conflict! +'W' 00-1F linux/wanrouter.h conflict!
