I have need to determine the capabilities of an optical drive. Right
now I'm using SDL to find the drives, and ioctl to get the
capabilities. Unfortunately, based on the output that I'm getting,
either my method of interpretation is bad or these drives are
misrepresenting themselves (which they shouldn't be, as other programs
can use the abilites they would here appear to be lacking). If anyone
has experience with the CDROM_GET_CAPAB ILITIES ioctl, could you please
tell me where I am going amiss?
Thanks,
Chris

You are going amiss by expecting an answer here. Those things are
peculiar to the system and compiler you are using, so ask in a
newsgroup that deals with them. c.l.c deals with the PORTABLE C
language, which knows nothing about drives, ioctl, etc.

The C language doesn't define SDL or ioctl, these are extensions provided
by your platform and are not portable.
Your code appears to be including a linux related header. A good place to
discuss Linux related features is comp.os.linux.d evelopment.apps .

Hi all!!
I'm trying to use Python to help in testing software for the Windows
Platform.
The sw we develop at the company I work for sets up quite a number of
"new" device drives in Windows, and as part of the testing process I'd
need to be able to "query" them about their state and suchlike. The
"interface" for doing so involves opening "device files" (of the form
\\.\Device\CDCrypto) and sending them ioctls to query their state.

I want to know which input one of my V4L devices is using. This is
done using the VIDIOC_G_INPUT ioctl. I'm trying to figure out how
to do it in Python.
I found the pyv4l.
http://pyv4l.sourceforge.net/
It hasn't been updated in awhile. It doesn't know about
VIDIOC_G_INPUT. I tried creating it with this.
foo = VIDIOCGINPUT = video4linux._IOR('v', 38, 'i')
I was even able to get ioctl() to go with this.

I am writing an app that records from the soundcard using ossaudiodev.
In the OSS programmer's guide they recommend when reading data

to use the fragment size as it is requested by the driver. According to

the ioctl call to determine the requested fragment size is:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
