5 * This structure defines the interface between the tty line discipline
6 * implementation 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 * int (*open)(struct tty_struct *);
12 * This function is called when the line discipline is associated
13 * with the tty. The line discipline can use this as an
14 * opportunity to initialize any state needed by the ldisc routines.
16 * void (*close)(struct tty_struct *);
18 * This function is called when the line discipline is being
19 * shutdown, either because the tty is being closed or because
20 * the tty is being changed to use a new line discipline
22 * void (*flush_buffer)(struct tty_struct *tty);
24 * This function instructs the line discipline to clear its
25 * buffers of any input characters it may have queued to be
26 * delivered to the user mode process.
28 * ssize_t (*chars_in_buffer)(struct tty_struct *tty);
30 * This function returns the number of input characters the line
31 * discipline may have queued up to be delivered to the user mode
32 * process.
34 * ssize_t (*read)(struct tty_struct * tty, struct file * file,
35 * unsigned char * buf, size_t nr);
37 * This function is called when the user requests to read from
38 * the tty. The line discipline will return whatever characters
39 * it has buffered up for the user. If this function is not
40 * defined, the user will receive an EIO error.
42 * ssize_t (*write)(struct tty_struct * tty, struct file * file,
43 * const unsigned char * buf, size_t nr);
45 * This function is called when the user requests to write to the
46 * tty. The line discipline will deliver the characters to the
47 * low-level tty device for transmission, optionally performing
48 * some processing on the characters first. If this function is
49 * not defined, the user will receive an EIO error.
51 * int (*ioctl)(struct tty_struct * tty, struct file * file,
52 * unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg);
54 * This function is called when the user requests an ioctl which
55 * is not handled by the tty layer or the low-level tty driver.
56 * It is intended for ioctls which affect line discpline
57 * operation. Note that the search order for ioctls is (1) tty
58 * layer, (2) tty low-level driver, (3) line discpline. So a
59 * low-level driver can "grab" an ioctl request before the line
60 * discpline has a chance to see it.
62 * void (*set_termios)(struct tty_struct *tty, struct termios * old);
64 * This function notifies the line discpline that a change has
65 * been made to the termios structure.
67 * int (*poll)(struct tty_struct * tty, struct file * file,
68 * poll_table *wait);
70 * This function is called when a user attempts to select/poll on a
71 * tty device. It is solely the responsibility of the line
72 * discipline to handle poll requests.
74 * void (*receive_buf)(struct tty_struct *, const unsigned char *cp,
75 * char *fp, int count);
77 * This function is called by the low-level tty driver to send
78 * characters received by the hardware to the line discpline for
79 * processing. <cp> is a pointer to the buffer of input
80 * character received by the device. <fp> is a pointer to a
81 * pointer of flag bytes which indicate whether a character was
82 * received with a parity error, etc.
84 * int (*receive_room)(struct tty_struct *);
86 * This function is called by the low-level tty driver to
87 * determine how many characters the line discpline can accept.
88 * The low-level driver must not send more characters than was
89 * indicated by receive_room, or the line discpline may drop
90 * those characters.
92 * void (*write_wakeup)(struct tty_struct *);
94 * This function is called by the low-level tty driver to signal
95 * that line discpline should try to send more characters to the
96 * low-level driver for transmission. If the line discpline does
97 * not have any more data to send, it can just return.
99 * int (*hangup)(struct tty_struct *)
101 * Called on a hangup. Tells the discipline that it should
102 * cease I/O to the tty driver. Can sleep. The driver should
103 * seek to perform this action quickly but should wait until
104 * any pending driver I/O is completed.
