FS IOCTL

Perform control function on the device specified by the opened device handle.

Syntax
FS_IOCTL(psffsi, psffsd, cat, func, pParm, lenMaxParm,         plenInOutParm, pData, lenMaxData, plenInOutData)

Parameters

 * psffsi :is a pointer to the file-system-independent portion of an open file instance.
 * psffsd :is a pointer to the file-system-dependent portion of an open file instance.
 * cat :is the category of the function to be performed.
 * func :is the function within the category to be performed.
 * pParm :is the address of the application input parameter area.
 * Addressing of this data area is not validated by the kernel (see FSH_PROBEBUF). A null value indicates that the parameter is unspecified for this function. lenMaxParm is the byte length of the application input parameter area.
 * If lenMaxParm is 0, *plenInOutParm is 0, and pParm is not null, it means that the data buffer length is unknown due to the request being submitted via an old IOCTL or DosDevIOCtl interface.


 * plenInOutParm: is the pointer to an unsigned short that contains the length of the parameter area in use on input and is set by the FSD to be the length of the parameter area in use on output.
 * Addressing of this data area is not validated by the kernel (see FSH_PROBEBUF). A null value indicates that the parameter is unspecified for this function.


 * pData: is the address of the application output data area.
 * Addressing of this data area has not been validated by the kernel (see FSH_ PROBEBUF). A null value indicates that the parameter is unspecified for this function.


 * lenMaxData: is the byte length of the application output data area.
 * If lenMaxData is 0, *plenInOutData is 0, and pData is not null, it means that the data buffer length is unknown due to the request being submitted via an old IOCTL or DosDevIOCtl interface.


 * plenInOutData: is the pointer to an unsigned short that contains the length of the data area in use on input and is set by the FSD to be the length of the data area in use on output.
 * Addressing of this data area is not validated by the kernel (see FSH_PROBEBUF). A null value indicates that the parameter is unspecified for this function.

Remarks

 * Note: This entry point's parameter list definition has changed from the 1.x IFS document. If the parameters plenInOutParm and plenInOutData are null, use the lenMax parameters as the buffer sizes sent to any file system helper.
