|
|
<P>The following sections are for programmers who want to use the generic
|
|
SCSI interface in their own applications. An example will be given
|
|
showing how to access a SCSI device with the INQUIRY and the
|
|
TESTUNITREADY commands.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>When using these code examples, note the following:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>the location of the header files <CODE>sg.h</CODE> and <CODE>scsi.h</CODE> has
|
|
changed in kernel version 1.3.98. Now these files are located at
|
|
<CODE>/usr/src/linux/include/scsi</CODE>, which is hopefully linked to
|
|
<CODE>/usr/include/scsi</CODE>. Previously they were in
|
|
<CODE>/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi</CODE>. We assume a newer kernel in the following text.</LI>
|
|
<LI>the generic SCSI interface was extended in kernel version 1.1.68; the
|
|
examples require at least this version. But please avoid kernel version
|
|
1.1.77 up to 1.1.89 and 1.3.52 upto 1.3.56 since they had a broken generic
|
|
scsi interface.</LI>
|
|
<LI>the constant DEVICE in the header section describing the accessed
|
|
device should be set according to your available devices (see
|
|
section
|
|
<A HREF="SCSI-Programming-HOWTO-8.html#sec-header">sec-header</A>
|
|
.</LI>
