( February 2010) In, ioctl (an abbreviation of input/output control) is a for device-specific operations and other operations which cannot be expressed by regular system calls. It takes a parameter specifying a request code; the effect of a call depends completely on the request code. Request codes are often device-specific. For instance, a CD-ROM which can instruct a physical device to eject a disc would provide an ioctl request code to do that. Device-independent request codes are sometimes used to give access to kernel functions which are only used by core system software or still under development.The ioctl system call first appeared in of under that name.
It is supported by most Unix and systems, including and, though the available request codes differ from system to system. Provides a similar function, named ' DeviceIoControl', in its. Contents.Background Conventional operating systems can be divided into two layers, and the. Application code such as a resides in, while the underlying facilities of the operating system, such as the, reside in the kernel. Kernel code handles sensitive resources and implements the security and reliability barriers between applications; for this reason, user mode applications are prevented by the operating system from directly accessing kernel resources.applications typically make requests to the kernel by means of, whose code lies in the kernel layer.
Pandoc also has Org-mode support and can convert from and to Org-mode. Org-js is a parser, converter, and editor for org-mode syntax. There are also various parsers for org-syntax available for different languages. Of course none of these tools will ever be a fully replacement for the real deal because org-mode and its features heavily rely on Emacs and its environment.
A system call usually takes the form of a 'system call vector', in which the desired system call is indicated with an index number. For instance, exit might be system call number 1, and write number 4. The system call vector is then used to find the desired kernel function for the request. In this way, conventional operating systems typically provide several hundred system calls to the userspace.Though an expedient design for accessing standard kernel facilities, system calls are sometimes inappropriate for accessing non-standard hardware peripherals. By necessity, most hardware peripherals (aka devices) are directly addressable only within the kernel. But user code may need to communicate directly with devices; for instance, an administrator might configure the media type on an interface. Modern operating systems support diverse devices, many of which offer a large collection of facilities.
Some of these facilities may not be foreseen by the kernel designer, and as a consequence it is difficult for a kernel to provide system calls for using the devices.To solve this problem, the kernel is designed to be extensible, and may accept an extra module called a which runs in kernel space and can directly address the device. An ioctl interface is a single system call by which userspace may communicate with device drivers. Requests on a device driver are vectored with respect to this ioctl system call, typically by a handle to the device and a request number. Niklas Hallqvist (2002); Marco Peereboom (2006).

TIOCSTI. stands for 'terminal I/O control, simulate terminal input.' On systems that implement this function, it will push one character into your device stream so that the next time any process reads from that device, it gets the character you put there. Federico Biancuzzi (2004-10-28). Retrieved 2019-03-20. There are two system calls that can be used to add functionality to the kernel (without adding yet another system call): ioctl(2) and sysctl(3).
The latter was chosen because it was very simple to implement the new feature. Tim Rightnour; Bill Squier (2007-12-19).
This API is experimental and may be deprecated at any time This entire API should be replaced by a sysctl(8) interface or a kernel events mechanism, should one be developed. Constantine A.

Org-mode, love it.I've been trying to set up the mac to export anything to pdf. No easy way yet.First there's org-export-as-pdf which first exports to pdf then generates a pdf.I get 'pdflatex: command not found', fair enough. Stumped.Other option is org-export-as-docbook-pdf which exports as DocBook XML then pdf.In this case I get 'XSLT processor command is not set correctly'.In both cases the.tex and.xml files are generated.In both cases I get through enough reading to think: 'there must be an easier way', and here I am.Thanks.Mac OS X 10.6.7Emacs.app 23.2.1Org-mode 7.4. I think the short answer is that you'll need to install either of the missing tools. In my case, I use LaTeX extensively, so I have TeX Live installed. That will give you pdflatex which will let org-export-as-pdf work properly. However, TeX is a huge system (several hundred megabytes to download), so if your only need for it is org-mode, you might rather install a docbook processor.I'm not an expert on org-mode, so maybe there's a way around it.
You could generate HTML and convert that to PDF using the method of your choice, but I'm guessing the optimum path is to install one of the processors needed. In order to export an org-mode file to pdf (xslt+fo) in osx:.
Install docbook stylesheets, an xslt and a fo processors$ brew install docbook saxon fop. Set variables as specified by org-mode documentation, and your processors' documentation:(require 'org-docbook);;(setq org-export-docbook-xsl-fo-proc-command '/usr/local/bin/fop '%i' '%o')(setq org-export-docbook-xslt-proc-command '/usr/local/bin/saxon -o:'%o' -s:'%i' -xsl:'%s')(setq org-export-docbook-xslt-stylesheet '/usr/local/Cellar/docbook/5.0/docbook/xsl-ns/1.77.1/fo/docbook.xsl')For more up to date information.
