Bug 14565

Summary:	ioctl() codes for device type `fd' (floppies) not documented

Description Ronald F. Guilmette 1999-10-28 01:30:01 UTC

	There _are_ some special ioctl() control codes that apply only to
	floppy disks (see /usr/include/machine/ioctl_fd.h) but these are
	not documented, e.g. in fdc(4).

	Also, of course, the man page for fdc(4) should mention:

		#include <machine/ioctl_fd.h>

	as being something that you need to do in order to get at the ioctl()
	codes for floppy drives.

Fix: 

Read the source for /usr/include/machine/ioctl_fd.h.
How-To-Repeat: 
	man 4 fdc

Can you submit documentation for these ioctls?  The manpages mdoc(7)
and mdoc.samples(7) and /usr/share/examples/mdoc/ may be useful.

From-To: freebsd-doc->joerg

Joerg has been working on the fdc driver.  Perhaps he could think about 
doing this?

Comment 3 j 2001-09-03 21:44:27 UTC

No need to submit that documentation.  A number of things will be
changed in that driver again, and once i'm ready with this, updating
the documentation is on my todo list.

Btw., the header file has been changed into <sys/fdcio.h>.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

With the update of fdc.4 in rev 1.30, all fdc(4) ioctls are now 
documented in the man page.
