driver, and point users in the right direction for similar functionality. The functionality that used to be provided there is now provided by the cd(4) driver and cdrecord. Fix cross-references in a few other man pages. (i.e. delete references to things I haven't written yet)

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm xpt
|
|
.Nd CAM transport layer interface
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
None.
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm xpt
|
|
driver provides a way for userland applications to issue certain CAM CCBs
|
|
to the kernel.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Since the
|
|
.Nm xpt
|
|
driver allows direct access to the CAM subsystem, system administrators
|
|
should exercise caution when granting access to this driver. If used
|
|
improperly, this driver can allow userland applications to crash a machine
|
|
or cause data loss.
|
|
.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
|
|
There is no kernel configuration required for the
|
|
.Nm xpt
|
|
driver. It is enabled when
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
support is enabled in the kernel. There is one instance of the xpt driver
|
|
per CAM transport layer instance. Since there is currently only one CAM
|
|
transport layer, there will only be one instance of this driver.
|
|
.Sh IOCTLS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 01234567890123
|
|
.It CAMIOCOMMAND
|
|
This ioctl takes certain kinds of CAM CCBs and passes them through to the
|
|
CAM transport layer for action. Only the following CCB types are
|
|
supported:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XPT_DEV_MATCH -compact
|
|
.It XPT_SCAN_BUS
|
|
.It XPT_RESET_BUS
|
|
.It XPT_SCAN_LUN
|
|
.It XPT_ENG_INQ
|
|
.It XPT_ENG_EXEC
|
|
.It XPT_DEBUG
|
|
.It XPT_DEV_MATCH
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The above CCBs are the only ones supported since it makes more sense to
|
|
send them through a generic passthrough device rather than a passthrough
|
|
device tied to a particular underlying
|
|
.Tn SCSI
|
|
device.
|
|
.It CAMGETPASSTHRU
|
|
This ioctl takes an XPT_GDEVLIST CCB, and returns the passthrough device
|
|
corresponding to the device in question.
