The ioctl(2)- and read(2)-based ABI is defined and + documented in <linux/firewire-cdev.h>. + + This ABI offers most of the features which firewire-core also + exposes to kernelspace IEEE 1394 drivers. + + Each /dev/fw* is associated with one IEEE 1394 node, which can + be remote or local nodes. Operations on a /dev/fw* file have + different scope: + - The 1394 node which is associated with the file: + - Asynchronous request transmission + - Get the Configuration ROM + - Query node ID + - Query maximum speed of the path between this node + and local node + - The 1394 bus (i.e. "card") to which the node is attached to: + - Isochronous stream transmission and reception + - Asynchronous stream transmission and reception + - Asynchronous broadcast request transmission + - PHY packet transmission and reception + - Allocate, reallocate, deallocate isochronous + resources (channels, bandwidth) at the bus's IRM + - Query node IDs of local node, root node, IRM, bus + manager + - Query cycle time + - Bus reset initiation, bus reset event reception + - All 1394 buses: + - Allocation of IEEE 1212 address ranges on the local + link layers, reception of inbound requests to such + an address range, asynchronous response transmission + to inbound requests + - Addition of descriptors or directories to the local + nodes' Configuration ROM + + Due to the different scope of operations and in order to let + userland implement different access permission models, some + operations are restricted to /dev/fw* files that are associated + with a local node: + - Addition of descriptors or directories to the local + nodes' Configuration ROM + - PHY packet transmission and reception + + A /dev/fw* file remains associated with one particular node + during its entire life time. Bus topology changes, and hence + node ID changes, are tracked by firewire-core. ABI users do not + need to be aware of topology. + + The following file operations are supported: + + open(2) + Currently the only useful flags are O_RDWR. + + ioctl(2) + Initiate various actions. Some take immediate effect, others + are performed asynchronously while or after the ioctl returns. + See the inline documentation in <linux/firewire-cdev.h> for + descriptions of all ioctls. + + poll(2), select(2), epoll_wait(2) etc. + Watch for events to become available to be read. + + read(2) + Receive various events. There are solicited events like + outbound asynchronous transaction completion or isochronous + buffer completion, and unsolicited events such as bus resets, + request reception, or PHY packet reception. Always use a read + buffer which is large enough to receive the largest event that + could ever arrive. See <linux/firewire-cdev.h> for descriptions + of all event types and for which ioctls affect reception of + events. + + mmap(2) + Allocate a DMA buffer for isochronous reception or transmission + and map it into the process address space. The arguments should + be used as follows: addr = NULL, length = the desired buffer + size, i.e. number of packets times size of largest packet, + prot = at least PROT_READ for reception and at least PROT_WRITE + for transmission, flags = MAP_SHARED, fd = the handle to the + /dev/fw*, offset = 0. + + Isochronous reception works in packet-per-buffer fashion except + for multichannel reception which works in buffer-fill mode. + + munmap(2) + Unmap the isochronous I/O buffer from the process address space. + + close(2) + Besides stopping and freeing I/O contexts that were associated + with the file descriptor, back out any changes to the local + nodes' Configuration ROM.
