The following ioctls have been introduced to allow user programs to
control the behavior of individual CDROM devices. New ioctl
commands can be identified by the underscores in their names.
- CDROM_SET_OPTIONS
- Set options specified by arg. Returns the
option flag register after modification. Use
arg = 0 for reading
the current flags.
- CDROM_CLEAR_OPTIONS
- Clear options specified by arg. Returns
the option flag register after modification.
- CDROM_SELECT_SPEED
- Select head-rate speed of disc specified as
by arg. The value 0 means `auto-select', i.e., play audio discs at
real time and data disc at maximum speed. The value arg is
checked against the maximum head rate of the drive found in
the
cdromdops.
- CDROM_SELECT_DISC
- Select disc numbered arg from a juke-box.
First disc is numbered 0. The number arg is checked against the
maximum number of discs in the juke-box found in the
cdromdops.
- CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED
- Returns 1 if a disc has been changed since
the last call. Note that calls to
cdrommediachanged by the VFS
are treated by an independent queue, so both mechanisms will detect
a media change once. Currently, cdrom.c implements maximum 16 minors
per major device.
- CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS
- Returns the status of the drive by a call to
drivestatus(). Return values are as defined in section
. Note that this call doesn't return information on the
current playing activity of the drive; this can be polled through an
ioctl call to
CDROMSUBCHNL.
- CDROM_DISC_STATUS
- Returns the type of the disc currently in the
drive by a call to
discstatus(). Return values are as defined in
section
.
