-

-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>

-
- 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

- have the drive open and not CAP_SYS_ADMIN
-
- notes:

- error.
