Hi,
I wondered about this. However, after looking around what
I found was that the FIO* requests seemed to be documented
in driver pages (and only a handful at that), and not
documented with ioctl.
Since I don't want to change the other existing driver
man pages, what if I add generic documentation to the
ioctl along with a comment saying to look at the individual
driver man pages for information specific to the driver.
ie: FIONREAD will succeed from a backgrounded process, but the
data read itself with hang (tty driver).
Thanks,
John
ps: Is cross-referencing #define values frowned upon? It would
be nice if "man -k FIONREAD" (for instance) would return
useful results.
