|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
||
|
|
place the following lines in your
|

kernel configuration file:
|
||
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|

|
|
.Cd "device scbus"
|
||
|
|
.Cd "device tws"
|
||
|
|
.Ed
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
||
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
||
|

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
||
|
|
Whenever the driver encounters a command failure, it prints out an error code in

||
|
|
the format:
|
||
|
|
.Qq Li "ERROR: (<error source>: <error code>):" ,
|
||
|
|
followed by a text description of the error.
|
||
|
|
There are other error messages and warnings that the
|
||
|
|
driver prints out, depending on the kinds of errors that it encounters.
|
||
|
|
If the driver is compiled with
|
||
|
|
.Dv TWS_DEBUG
|
||
|
|
defined, it prints out a whole bunch of debug
|
||
|
|
messages.
