+ Summary of CDROM ioctl calls.
+ ============================
+
+ Edward A. Falk <efalk@google.com>
+
+ November, 2004
+
+This document attempts to describe the ioctl(2) calls supported by
+the CDROM layer. These are by-and-large implemented (as of Linux 2.6)
+in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c and drivers/block/scsi_ioctl.c

+
+
+The information that follows was determined from reading kernel source
+code. It is likely that some corrections will be made over time.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+General:
+
+ Unless otherwise specified, all ioctl calls return 0 on success
+ and -1 with errno set to an appropriate value on error. (Some
+ ioctls return non-negative data values.)
+
+ Unless otherwise specified, all ioctl calls return -1 and set
+ errno to EFAULT on a failed attempt to copy data to or from user
+ address space.
+
+ Individual drivers may return error codes not listed here.
+
+ Unless otherwise specified, all data structures and constants
+ are defined in <linux/cdrom.h>
+
+
+
+

+ but most seem to spin the drive down.
+
+
+CDROMSTART Start the cdrom drive
+
+ usage:
+
+ ioctl(fd, CDROMSTART, 0);
+
+ inputs: none
+
+ outputs: none
+
+ error return:
+ ENOSYS cd drive not audio-capable.
+
+ notes:
+ Exact interpretation of this ioctl depends on the device,
+ but most seem to spin the drive up and/or close the tray.
+ Other devices ignore the ioctl completely.
+
+
+CDROMEJECT Ejects the cdrom media
+
+ usage:
+
+ ioctl(fd, CDROMEJECT, 0);
+
+ inputs: none
+
+ outputs: none

+
+ error return:
+ ENOSYS cd drive not audio-capable.
+
+
+
+CDROMVOLREAD Get the drive's volume setting

+
+ inputs:
+ cdrom_msf structure indicating an address to read.

+
+ outputs:
+ Data written to address provided by user.
+
+ error return:
+ EINVAL address less than 0, or msf less than 0:2:0
+ ENOMEM out of memory
+
+ notes:
+ As of 2.6.8.1, comments in <linux/cdrom.h> indicate that this
+ ioctl accepts a cdrom_read structure, but actual source code
+ reads a cdrom_msf structure and writes a buffer of data to
+ the same address.
+
+ MSF values are converted to LBA values via this formula:
+
+ lba = (((m * CD_SECS) + s) * CD_FRAMES + f) - CD_MSF_OFFSET;
+
+
+
+
+CDROMREADMODE1 Read CDROM mode 1 data (2048 Bytes)

+
+
+
+CDROMREADMODE2 Read CDROM mode 2 data (2336 Bytes)
+ (struct cdrom_read)
+

+ int val;
+ ioctl(fd, CDROMEJECT_SW, val);

+ ioctl(fd, CDROM_GET_MCN, &mcn);
+
+ inputs: none
+
+ outputs:
+ Universal Product Code
+
+ error return:
+ ENOSYS Drive is not capable of reading MCN data.
+
+ notes:
+ Source code comments state:
+
+ The following function is implemented, although very few
+ audio discs give Universal Product Code information, which
+ should just be the Medium Catalog Number on the box. Note,
+ that the way the code is written on the CD is /not/ uniform
+ across all discs!
+
+
+
+
+CDROM_GET_UPC CDROM_GET_MCN (deprecated)
+
+ Not implemented, as of 2.6.8.1

+ ioctl(fd, CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS, slot);
+
+ inputs:
+ Slot number to be tested, always zero except for jukeboxes.
+ May also be special values CDSL_NONE or CDSL_CURRENT

+ CDS_DATA_1
+
+ error returns: none at present
+
+ notes:
+ Source code comments state:
+
+ Ok, this is where problems start. The current interface for
+ the CDROM_DISC_STATUS ioctl is flawed. It makes the false
+ assumption that CDs are all CDS_DATA_1 or all CDS_AUDIO, etc.
+ Unfortunately, while this is often the case, it is also
+ very common for CDs to have some tracks with data, and some
+ tracks with audio. Just because I feel like it, I declare
+ the following to be the best way to cope. If the CD has
+ ANY data tracks on it, it will be returned as a data CD.
+ If it has any XA tracks, I will return it as that. Now I
+ could simplify this interface by combining these returns with
+ the above, but this more clearly demonstrates the problem
+ with the current interface. Too bad this wasn't designed
+ to use bitmasks... -Erik
+
+ Well, now we have the option CDS_MIXED: a mixed-type CD.
+ User level programmers might feel the ioctl is not very
+ useful.

+
+
+CDROM_CHANGER_NSLOTS Get number of slots
+
+ usage:
+
+ ioctl(fd, CDROM_CHANGER_NSLOTS, 0);

+ EBUSY Attempt to unlock when multiple users
+ have the drive open and not CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+
+ notes:
+ As of 2.6.8.1, the lock flag is a global lock, meaning that
+ all CD drives will be locked or unlocked together. This is
+ probably a bug.
+
+ The EDRIVE_CANT_DO_THIS value is defined in <linux/cdrom.h>

+
+ usage:
+
+ struct cdrom_generic_command cgc;
+ ioctl(fd, CDROM_SEND_PACKET, &cgc);
+
+ inputs:
+ cdrom_generic_command structure containing the packet to send.
+
+ outputs: none
+ cdrom_generic_command structure containing results.
