NAME

hdio - SMD and IPI disk control operations

SYNOPSIS

 #include <sys/hdio.h>


DESCRIPTION

The SMD and IPI disk drivers supplied with this release support a set of ioctl(2) requests for diagnostics and bad sector information. Basic to these ioctl() requests are the definitions in <sys/hdio.h>.

IOCTLS

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

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

HHHHDDDDKKKKIIIIOOOOCCCCGGGGBBBBAAAADDDD 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.

HHHHDDDDKKKKIIIIOOOOCCCCSSSSBBBBAAAADDDD 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.

HHHHDDDDKKKKIIIIOOOOCCCCGGGGDDDDIIIIAAAAGGGG 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.
