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>

	  ioctl(fd, CDROMSTOP, 0);

	inputs:		none

	outputs:	none

	error return:
	  ENOSYS	cd drive not audio-capable.

	notes:
	  Exact interpretation of this ioctl depends on the device,
	  but most seem to spin the drive down.

	  ioctl(fd, CDROMSTART, 0);

	inputs:		none

	outputs:	none

	error return:
	  ENOSYS	cd drive not audio-capable.

	notes:
	  Exact interpretation of this ioctl depends on the device,
	  but most seem to spin the drive up and/or close the tray.
	  Other devices ignore the ioctl completely.


CDROMEJECT			Ejects the cdrom media

	usage:

	  ioctl(fd, CDROMEJECT, 0);

	inputs:		none

	outputs:	none

	error returns:

	  Data written to address provided by user.

	error return:
	  EINVAL	address less than 0, or msf less than 0:2:0
	  ENOMEM	out of memory

	notes:
	  As of 2.6.8.1, comments in <linux/cdrom.h> indicate that this
	  ioctl accepts a cdrom_read structure, but actual source code
	  reads a cdrom_msf structure and writes a buffer of data to
	  the same address.

	  MSF values are converted to LBA values via this formula:

	    lba = (((m * CD_SECS) + s) * CD_FRAMES + f) - CD_MSF_OFFSET;




CDROMREADMODE1			Read CDROM mode 1 data (2048 Bytes)
					   (struct cdrom_read)

	notes:

	  EINVAL	nframes not in range [1 75]
	  ENXIO		drive has no queue (probably means invalid fd)
	  ENOMEM	out of memory

	  int val;
	  ioctl(fd, CDROMEJECT_SW, val);

	inputs:
	  Flag specifying auto-eject flag.

	outputs:	none

	error return:

				  address of multi session disks
				  (struct cdrom_multisession)
	usage:

	  struct cdrom_multisession ms_info;
	  ioctl(fd, CDROMMULTISESSION, &ms_info);

	inputs:
	  cdrom_multisession structure containing desired

	error return:
	  ENOSYS	Drive is not capable of reading MCN data.

	notes:
	  Source code comments state:

	    The following function is implemented, although very few
	    audio discs give Universal Product Code information, which
	    should just be the Medium Catalog Number on the box.  Note,
	    that the way the code is written on the CD is /not/ uniform
	    across all discs!




CDROM_GET_UPC			CDROM_GET_MCN  (deprecated)

	Not implemented, as of 2.6.8.1



CDROMRESET			hard-reset the drive

	usage:

	  ioctl(fd, CDROMRESET, 0);

	  Slot number to be tested, always zero except for jukeboxes.
	  May also be special values CDSL_NONE or CDSL_CURRENT

	outputs:
	  Ioctl return value will be one of the following values
	  from <linux/cdrom.h>:

	    CDS_NO_INFO		Information not available.
	    CDS_NO_DISC
	    CDS_TRAY_OPEN

	    CDS_XA_2_1
	    CDS_DATA_1

	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

	usage:

	  ioctl(fd, CDROM_CHANGER_NSLOTS, 0);

	inputs:		none

	outputs:
	  The ioctl return value will be the number of slots in a
	  CD changer.  Typically 1 for non-multi-disk devices.

	error returns:	none



CDROM_LOCKDOOR			lock or unlock door

	usage:

	  int lock;
	  ioctl(fd, CDROM_LOCKDOOR, lock);

	error returns:
	  EDRIVE_CANT_DO_THIS	Door lock function not supported.
	  EBUSY			Attempt to unlock when multiple users
	  			have the drive open and not CAP_SYS_ADMIN

	notes:
	  As of 2.6.8.1, the lock flag is a global lock, meaning that
	  all CD drives will be locked or unlocked together.  This is
	  probably a bug.

	  The EDRIVE_CANT_DO_THIS value is defined in <linux/cdrom.h>
	  and is currently (2.6.8.1) the same as EOPNOTSUPP



CDROM_DEBUG			Turn debug messages on/off

	  on error.

	error return:
	  ENOSYS	Not supported by this driver.

	notes:
	  Not supported by all drivers.

	  struct cdrom_generic_command cgc;
	  ioctl(fd, CDROM_SEND_PACKET, &cgc);

	inputs:

CDROM_LAST_WRITTEN		get last block written on disc

	usage:

	  long last;
	  ioctl(fd, CDROM_LAST_WRITTEN, &last);

	outputs:
	  The last block written on disc

	notes:
	  If the device does not support this ioctl directly, the
	  result is derived from the disc's table of contents.  If the
	  table of contents can't be read, this ioctl returns an
	  error.
