Why not ioctl()?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi list,

I have seen many people complaint about over-use of ioctl() for
drivers, but why it is a over-use? Why using ioctl() is not
recommended now while most books on this field still tell the new
comers to use it?

If ioctl() should not be used any more, what is the best alternative?

TIA

Yang
