Hi All,
I am not getting why i am getting the following DIAG message
Program inquiry is using deprecated scsi ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO.
The following snippet of linux source code clearly saying that, the above
message is a kind of cosmetic warning message.
Do you know how to use SG_IO to overcome this problem.
The following function sayign that only 6 scsi ioctls are deprecated, out of
6 inquiry program is using only 2 scsi ioctls(i.e.SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND
and SCSI_IOCTL_TEST_UNIT_READY ) . What are their equivalents SG_IO ioctls ?
181 /* the scsi_ioctl() function differs from most ioctls in that it does
182 * not take a major/minor number as the dev field. Rather, it takes
183 * a pointer to a scsi_devices[] element, a structure.
184 */
