Howdy I have just started getting into learning the kernel's API and whatnot because I wanted to learn how to write device drivers and what not. Somebody who I talk to alot gave me his source code for a watchdog driver made for linux-mips. He gave it to me as it is an extremly simple driver (mabey only 300 lines worth of source), so I have studied it so I can learn how drivers interact and what not. My major problem is that there is a whole much of ioctl's that I dont know about, and that I have never heard, that I cant find documentation for. Does anybody know of any good place for explanations on kernel ioctl's? Such as WDIOC_GETSUPPORT WDIOC_GETSTATUS WDIOC_KEEPALIVE Thanks -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
