5 * This structure defines the interface between the low-level tty
6 * driver and the tty routines. The following routines can be
7 * defined; unless noted otherwise, they are optional, and can be
8 * filled in with a null pointer.
10 * struct tty_struct * (*lookup)(struct tty_driver *self, int idx)
12 * Return the tty device corresponding to idx, NULL if there is not
13 * one currently in use and an ERR_PTR value on error. Called under
14 * tty_mutex (for now!)
16 * Optional method. Default behaviour is to use the ttys array
18 * int (*install)(struct tty_driver *self, struct tty_struct *tty)
20 * Install a new tty into the tty driver internal tables. Used in
21 * conjunction with lookup and remove methods.
23 * Optional method. Default behaviour is to use the ttys array
25 * void (*remove)(struct tty_driver *self, struct tty_struct *tty)
27 * Remove a closed tty from the tty driver internal tables. Used in
28 * conjunction with lookup and remove methods.
30 * Optional method. Default behaviour is to use the ttys array
32 * int (*open)(struct tty_struct * tty, struct file * filp);
34 * This routine is called when a particular tty device is opened.
35 * This routine is mandatory; if this routine is not filled in,
36 * the attempted open will fail with ENODEV.
38 * Required method.
40 * void (*close)(struct tty_struct * tty, struct file * filp);
42 * This routine is called when a particular tty device is closed.
44 * Required method.
46 * void (*shutdown)(struct tty_struct * tty);
48 * This routine is called synchronously when a particular tty device
49 * is closed for the last time freeing up the resources.
52 * void (*cleanup)(struct tty_struct * tty);
54 * This routine is called asynchronously when a particular tty device
55 * is closed for the last time freeing up the resources. This is
56 * actually the second part of shutdown for routines that might sleep.
59 * int (*write)(struct tty_struct * tty,
60 * const unsigned char *buf, int count);
62 * This routine is called by the kernel to write a series of
63 * characters to the tty device. The characters may come from
64 * user space or kernel space. This routine will return the
65 * number of characters actually accepted for writing.
67 * Optional: Required for writable devices.
69 * int (*put_char)(struct tty_struct *tty, unsigned char ch);
71 * This routine is called by the kernel to write a single
72 * character to the tty device. If the kernel uses this routine,
73 * it must call the flush_chars() routine (if defined) when it is
74 * done stuffing characters into the driver. If there is no room
75 * in the queue, the character is ignored.
77 * Optional: Kernel will use the write method if not provided.
79 * Note: Do not call this function directly, call tty_put_char
81 * void (*flush_chars)(struct tty_struct *tty);
83 * This routine is called by the kernel after it has written a
84 * series of characters to the tty device using put_char().
86 * Optional:
88 * Note: Do not call this function directly, call tty_driver_flush_chars
90 * int (*write_room)(struct tty_struct *tty);
92 * This routine returns the numbers of characters the tty driver
93 * will accept for queuing to be written. This number is subject
94 * to change as output buffers get emptied, or if the output flow
95 * control is acted.
97 * Required if write method is provided else not needed.
99 * Note: Do not call this function directly, call tty_write_room
101 * int (*ioctl)(struct tty_struct *tty, struct file * file,
102 * unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg);
104 * This routine allows the tty driver to implement
105 * device-specific ioctl's. If the ioctl number passed in cmd
106 * is not recognized by the driver, it should return ENOIOCTLCMD.
108 * Optional
110 * long (*compat_ioctl)(struct tty_struct *tty, struct file * file,
111 * unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg);
113 * implement ioctl processing for 32 bit process on 64 bit system
115 * Optional
117 * void (*set_termios)(struct tty_struct *tty, struct ktermios * old);
119 * This routine allows the tty driver to be notified when
120 * device's termios settings have changed.
122 * Optional: Called under the termios lock
125 * void (*set_ldisc)(struct tty_struct *tty);
127 * This routine allows the tty driver to be notified when the
128 * device's termios settings have changed.
130 * Optional: Called under BKL (currently)
132 * void (*throttle)(struct tty_struct * tty);
134 * This routine notifies the tty driver that input buffers for
135 * the line discipline are close to full, and it should somehow
136 * signal that no more characters should be sent to the tty.
138 * Optional: Always invoke via tty_throttle(), called under the
139 * termios lock.
141 * void (*unthrottle)(struct tty_struct * tty);
143 * This routine notifies the tty drivers that it should signals
144 * that characters can now be sent to the tty without fear of
145 * overrunning the input buffers of the line disciplines.
147 * Optional: Always invoke via tty_unthrottle(), called under the
148 * termios lock.
150 * void (*stop)(struct tty_struct *tty);
152 * This routine notifies the tty driver that it should stop
153 * outputting characters to the tty device.
155 * Optional:
157 * Note: Call stop_tty not this method.
159 * void (*start)(struct tty_struct *tty);
161 * This routine notifies the tty driver that it resume sending
162 * characters to the tty device.
164 * Optional:
166 * Note: Call start_tty not this method.
168 * void (*hangup)(struct tty_struct *tty);
170 * This routine notifies the tty driver that it should hangup the
171 * tty device.
173 * Optional:
175 * int (*break_ctl)(struct tty_stuct *tty, int state);
177 * This optional routine requests the tty driver to turn on or
178 * off BREAK status on the RS-232 port. If state is -1,
179 * then the BREAK status should be turned on; if state is 0, then
180 * BREAK should be turned off.
182 * If this routine is implemented, the high-level tty driver will
183 * handle the following ioctls: TCSBRK, TCSBRKP, TIOCSBRK,
184 * TIOCCBRK.
186 * If the driver sets TTY_DRIVER_HARDWARE_BREAK then the interface
187 * will also be called with actual times and the hardware is expected
188 * to do the delay work itself. 0 and -1 are still used for on/off.
190 * Optional: Required for TCSBRK/BRKP/etc handling.
192 * void (*wait_until_sent)(struct tty_struct *tty, int timeout);
194 * This routine waits until the device has written out all of the
195 * characters in its transmitter FIFO.
197 * Optional: If not provided the device is assumed to have no FIFO
199 * Note: Usually correct to call tty_wait_until_sent
201 * void (*send_xchar)(struct tty_struct *tty, char ch);
203 * This routine is used to send a high-priority XON/XOFF
204 * character to the device.
206 * Optional: If not provided then the write method is called under
207 * the atomic write lock to keep it serialized with the ldisc.
209 * int (*resize)(struct tty_struct *tty, struct winsize *ws)
211 * Called when a termios request is issued which changes the
212 * requested terminal geometry.
214 * Optional: the default action is to update the termios structure
215 * without error. This is usually the correct behaviour. Drivers should
216 * not force errors here if they are not resizable objects (eg a serial
217 * line). See tty_do_resize() if you need to wrap the standard method
218 * in your own logic - the usual case.
220 * void (*set_termiox)(struct tty_struct *tty, struct termiox *new);
222 * Called when the device receives a termiox based ioctl. Passes down
223 * the requested data from user space. This method will not be invoked
224 * unless the tty also has a valid tty->termiox pointer.
226 * Optional: Called under the termios lock

334 * tty driver flags
336 * TTY_DRIVER_RESET_TERMIOS --- requests the tty layer to reset the
337 * termios setting when the last process has closed the device.
338 * Used for PTY's, in particular.
340 * TTY_DRIVER_REAL_RAW --- if set, indicates that the driver will
341 * guarantee never not to set any special character handling
342 * flags if ((IGNBRK || (!BRKINT && !PARMRK)) && (IGNPAR ||
343 * !INPCK)). That is, if there is no reason for the driver to
344 * send notifications of parity and break characters up to the
345 * line driver, it won't do so. This allows the line driver to
346 * optimize for this case if this flag is set. (Note that there
347 * is also a promise, if the above case is true, not to signal
348 * overruns, either.)
350 * TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV --- if set, the individual tty devices need
351 * to be registered with a call to tty_register_driver() when the
352 * device is found in the system and unregistered with a call to
353 * tty_unregister_device() so the devices will be show up
354 * properly in sysfs. If not set, driver->num entries will be
355 * created by the tty core in sysfs when tty_register_driver() is
356 * called. This is to be used by drivers that have tty devices
357 * that can appear and disappear while the main tty driver is
358 * registered with the tty core.
360 * TTY_DRIVER_DEVPTS_MEM -- don't use the standard arrays, instead
361 * use dynamic memory keyed through the devpts filesystem. This
362 * is only applicable to the pty driver.
364 * TTY_DRIVER_HARDWARE_BREAK -- hardware handles break signals. Pass
365 * the requested timeout to the caller instead of using a simple
366 * on/off interface.
