2.4.1 Error Message Formats
MOTLoad displays error messages in one of six formats:
function_name(): open() failed, errno=
function_name(): ioctl() failed, errno=
function_name(): io_operation([device]) failed, errno=
function_name(): error_message, errno=
function_name(): error_message
error_messsage
In some cases, the message format may vary slightly from the above. For these messages, the
format and meaning is identified under the Error Messages section for the affected command.
When the operation attempts to open a device but encounters a failure during the open
process, the open message is displayed and identifies the complete device name (for example,
/dev/ide0/hdisk0
).
When a general IOCTL command fails, the ioctl value identifies the failing I/O operation of a
specific device type; for example, block, terminal, tape, and so on. For an example set of IOCTL
codes, refer to the IOCTL Codes (Block) table (below). It is not necessary to know all the codes
for each type of device since the individual error message sections define the meaning of each
ioctl error message.
2.4.2 IOCTL Codes (Block)
The following table lists the IOCTL codes:
IOBLOCK_IOCTL_GET_DEVICE_TYPE 100
IOBLOCK_IOCTL_STATUS 101
IOBLOCK_IOCTL_RESET 102
IOBLOCK_IOCTL_GET_BLOCK_SIZE 103
IOBLOCK_IOCTL_NBLOCKS 104
IOBLOCK_IOCTL_FORMAT 105
IOBLOCK_IOCTL_SEEK_SET 106
IOBLOCK_IOCTL_SEEK_CURRENT 107
IOBLOCK_IOCTL_SEEK_END 108
