: Hello All ,

: thanks and regards,
Remember that there's a level of indirection here. For the userland
call, you'll have something like:
int i = 10;
ioctl (fd, HDLCMODE, &i);
in the kernel, this translates into a call to the driver's ioctl
routine:
int
fooioctl(struct cdev *tp, u_long cmd, void *data, int flag, struct thread *t)
{
switch (cmd)
{
case HDLCMODE:
printf("this should be 10: %d\n", *(int *)data);
break;
}
