13 * DOC: General ioctl format
14 *
15 * The ioctl interface follows a general format to allow for extensibility. Each
16 * ioctl is passed a structure pointer as the argument providing the size of
17 * the structure in the first u32. The kernel checks that any structure space
18 * beyond what it understands is 0. This allows userspace to use the backward
19 * compatible portion while consistently using the newer, larger, structures.
20 *
21 * ioctls use a standard meaning for common errnos:
22 *
23 * - ENOTTY: The IOCTL number itself is not supported at all
24 * - E2BIG: The IOCTL number is supported, but the provided structure has
25 * non-zero in a part the kernel does not understand.
26 * - EOPNOTSUPP: The IOCTL number is supported, and the structure is
27 * understood, however a known field has a value the kernel does not
28 * understand or support.
29 * - EINVAL: Everything about the IOCTL was understood, but a field is not
30 * correct.
31 * - ENOMEM: Out of memory.
32 * - ENODEV: The underlying device has been hot-unplugged and the FD is
33 * orphaned.
34 *
35 * As well as additional errnos, within specific ioctls.
