See example in termios.h: #define _IOT_termios /* Hurd ioctl type field. */ \ _IOT (_IOTS (tcflag_t), 4, _IOTS (cc_t), NCCS, _IOTS (speed_t), 2) because struct termios holds 4 members of type tcflag_ts, then NCCS members of type cc_ts and finaly 2 members of type speed_ts. As you can see, this limits the number of kinds of members to 3, and in addition to that (see the bitfield described in ioctls.h), the third kind of member is limited to 3 members. However, since at the API compatibility layer you are generally allowed to reorder fields in structures, you can usually manage to fit into these limits. Note: if a field member is a pointer, then the ioctl can't be expressed this way, and that makes sense, since the server you're talking to doesn't have direct access to your memory. Others way than ioctls must then be found. Samuel _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
