ioctl.h 分析

我自己画了个解析图。。。不要嫌弃丑啊。。

。

哈哈

 
type

The magic number. Just choose one number (after consultingioctl-number.txt ) and use it throughout the driver. This field is eight bits wide (_IOC_TYPEBITS).

number.

          The ordinal (sequential) number. It’s eight bits ( _IOC_NRBITS) wide.

direction

The direction of data transfer,if the particular command involves a data transfer. The possible values are _IOC_NONE (no data transfer), _IOC_READ, _IOC_WRITE, and _IOC_READ|_IOC_WRITE(data is transferred both ways). Data transfer is seen from the application’s point of view; _IOC_READ means reading from the device, so the driver must write to user space. Note that the field is a bitmask,so _IOC_ READ and _IOC_WRITE can be extracted using a logical AND operation.

size

The size of user data involved.The width of this field is architecture dependent, but is usually 13 or 14 bits.You can find its value  for your specific architecture in the macro _IOC_SIZEBITS. It’s not mandatory that you use the size field—the kernel does not check it—but it is a goodidea.Proper use of this field can help detect user-space programming errors and enable you to implement backward compatibility if you ever need to change the size of the relevant data item. If you need larger data structures, however,you can just ignore the size field. We’ll see how this field is used soon.

/* ioctl command encoding: 32 bits total, command in lower 16 bits,
 * size of the parameter structure in the lower 14 bits of the
 * upper 16 bits.
 * Encoding the size of the parameter structure in the ioctl request
 * is useful for catching programs compiled with old versions
 * and to avoid overwriting user space outside the user buffer area.
 * The highest 2 bits are reserved for indicating the ``access mode‘‘.
 * NOTE: This limits the max parameter size to 16kB -1 !
 */

/*
 * The following is for compatibility across the various Linux
 * platforms.  The generic ioctl numbering scheme doesn‘t really enforce
 * a type field.  De facto, however, the top 8 bits of the lower 16
 * bits are indeed used as a type field, so we might just as well make
 * this explicit here.  Please be sure to use the decoding macros
 * below from now on.
