62 The parport subsystem comprises 'parport' (the core port-sharing
63 code), and a variety of low-level drivers that actually do the port
64 accesses. Each low-level driver handles a particular style of port
65 (PC, Amiga, and so on).
67 The parport interface to the device driver author can be broken down
68 into global functions and port functions.
70 The global functions are mostly for communicating between the device
71 driver and the parport subsystem: acquiring a list of available ports,
72 claiming a port for exclusive use, and so on. They also include
73 'generic' functions for doing standard things that will work on any
74 IEEE 1284-capable architecture.
76 The port functions are provided by the low-level drivers, although the
77 core parport module provides generic 'defaults' for some routines.
78 The port functions can be split into three groups: SPP, EPP, and ECP.
80 SPP (Standard Parallel Port) functions modify so-called 'SPP'
81 registers: data, status, and control. The hardware may not actually
82 have registers exactly like that, but the PC does and this interface is
83 modelled after common PC implementations. Other low-level drivers may
84 be able to emulate most of the functionality.
86 EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) functions are provided for reading and
87 writing in IEEE 1284 EPP mode, and ECP (Extended Capabilities Port)
88 functions are used for IEEE 1284 ECP mode. (What about BECP? Does
91 Hardware assistance for EPP and/or ECP transfers may or may not be
92 available, and if it is available it may or may not be used. If
93 hardware is not used, the transfer will be software-driven. In order
94 to cope with peripherals that only tenuously support IEEE 1284, a
95 low-level driver specific function is provided, for altering 'fudge
101 parport_register_driver - register a device driver with parport
102 -----------------------
106 #include <linux/parport.h>
108 struct parport_driver {
110 void (*attach) (struct parport *);
111 void (*detach) (struct parport *);
112 struct parport_driver *next;
114 int parport_register_driver (struct parport_driver *driver);
118 In order to be notified about parallel ports when they are detected,
119 parport_register_driver should be called. Your driver will
120 immediately be notified of all ports that have already been detected,
121 and of each new port as low-level drivers are loaded.
123 A 'struct parport_driver' contains the textual name of your driver,
124 a pointer to a function to handle new ports, and a pointer to a
125 function to handle ports going away due to a low-level driver
126 unloading. Ports will only be detached if they are not being used
127 (i.e. there are no devices registered on them).
129 The visible parts of the 'struct parport *' argument given to
134 struct parport *next; /* next parport in list */
135 const char *name; /* port's name */
136 unsigned int modes; /* bitfield of hardware modes */

139 int number; /* parport index */
140 struct parport_operations *ops;
144 There are other members of the structure, but they should not be
147 The 'modes' member summarises the capabilities of the underlying
148 hardware. It consists of flags which may be bitwise-ored together:
150 PARPORT_MODE_PCSPP IBM PC registers are available,
151 i.e. functions that act on data,
152 control and status registers are
153 probably writing directly to the
155 PARPORT_MODE_TRISTATE The data drivers may be turned off.
156 This allows the data lines to be used
157 for reverse (peripheral to host)
159 PARPORT_MODE_COMPAT The hardware can assist with
160 compatibility-mode (printer)
161 transfers, i.e. compat_write_block.
162 PARPORT_MODE_EPP The hardware can assist with EPP
164 PARPORT_MODE_ECP The hardware can assist with ECP
166 PARPORT_MODE_DMA The hardware can use DMA, so you might
167 want to pass ISA DMA-able memory
168 (i.e. memory allocated using the
169 GFP_DMA flag with kmalloc) to the
170 low-level driver in order to take
173 There may be other flags in 'modes' as well.
175 The contents of 'modes' is advisory only. For example, if the
176 hardware is capable of DMA, and PARPORT_MODE_DMA is in 'modes', it
177 doesn't necessarily mean that DMA will always be used when possible.
178 Similarly, hardware that is capable of assisting ECP transfers won't

235 void (*detach) (struct parport *);
236 struct parport_driver *next;
238 void parport_unregister_driver (struct parport_driver *driver);
242 This tells parport not to notify the device driver of new ports or of
243 ports going away. Registered devices belonging to that driver are NOT
244 unregistered: parport_unregister_device must be used for each one.

264 parport_enumerate - retrieve a list of parallel ports (DEPRECATED)
269 #include <linux/parport.h>
271 struct parport *parport_enumerate (void);
275 Retrieve the first of a list of valid parallel ports for this machine.
276 Successive parallel ports can be found using the 'struct parport
277 *next' element of the 'struct parport *' that is returned. If 'next'
278 is NULL, there are no more parallel ports in the list. The number of
279 ports in the list will not exceed PARPORT_MAX.

317 parport_register_device - register to use a port
318 -----------------------
322 #include <linux/parport.h>
324 typedef int (*preempt_func) (void *handle);
325 typedef void (*wakeup_func) (void *handle);
326 typedef int (*irq_func) (int irq, void *handle, struct pt_regs *);
328 struct pardevice *parport_register_device(struct parport *port,
330 preempt_func preempt,
338 Use this function to register your device driver on a parallel port
339 ('port'). Once you have done that, you will be able to use
340 parport_claim and parport_release in order to use the port.
342 This function will register three callbacks into your driver:
343 'preempt', 'wakeup' and 'irq'. Each of these may be NULL in order to
344 indicate that you do not want a callback.
346 When the 'preempt' function is called, it is because another driver
347 wishes to use the parallel port. The 'preempt' function should return
348 non-zero if the parallel port cannot be released yet -- if zero is
349 returned, the port is lost to another driver and the port must be
350 re-claimed before use.
352 The 'wakeup' function is called once another driver has released the
353 port and no other driver has yet claimed it. You can claim the
354 parallel port from within the 'wakeup' function (in which case the
355 claim is guaranteed to succeed), or choose not to if you don't need it
358 If an interrupt occurs on the parallel port your driver has claimed,
359 the 'irq' function will be called. (Write something about shared
362 The 'handle' is a pointer to driver-specific data, and is passed to
363 the callback functions.
365 'flags' may be a bitwise combination of the following flags:
368 PARPORT_DEV_EXCL The device cannot share the parallel port at all.
369 Use this only when absolutely necessary.
371 The typedefs are not actually defined -- they are only shown in order
372 to make the function prototype more readable.
374 The visible parts of the returned 'struct pardevice' are:
377 struct parport *port; /* Associated port */
378 void *private; /* Device driver's 'handle' */
384 A 'struct pardevice *': a handle to the registered parallel port
385 device that can be used for parport_claim, parport_release, etc.
389 A return value of NULL indicates that there was a problem registering
390 a device on that port.

441 parport_unregister_device - finish using a port
442 -------------------------
446 #include <linux/parport.h>
448 void parport_unregister_device (struct pardevice *dev);
452 This function is the opposite of parport_register_device. After using
453 parport_unregister_device, 'dev' is no longer a valid device handle.
455 You should not unregister a device that is currently claimed, although
456 if you do it will be released automatically.
461 kfree (dev->private); /* before we lose the pointer */
462 parport_unregister_device (dev);
467 parport_unregister_driver
469 parport_claim, parport_claim_or_block - claim the parallel port for a device
470 -------------------------------------
474 #include <linux/parport.h>
476 int parport_claim (struct pardevice *dev);
477 int parport_claim_or_block (struct pardevice *dev);
481 These functions attempt to gain control of the parallel port on which
482 'dev' is registered. 'parport_claim' does not block, but
483 'parport_claim_or_block' may do. (Put something here about blocking
484 interruptibly or non-interruptibly.)
486 You should not try to claim a port that you have already claimed.
490 A return value of zero indicates that the port was successfully
491 claimed, and the caller now has possession of the parallel port.
493 If 'parport_claim_or_block' blocks before returning successfully, the
494 return value is positive.
498 -EAGAIN The port is unavailable at the moment, but another attempt
499 to claim it may succeed.
505 parport_release - release the parallel port
510 #include <linux/parport.h>
512 void parport_release (struct pardevice *dev);
516 Once a parallel port device has been claimed, it can be released using
517 'parport_release'. It cannot fail, but you should not release a
518 device that you do not have possession of.

537 parport_yield, parport_yield_blocking - temporarily release a parallel port
538 -------------------------------------
542 #include <linux/parport.h>
544 int parport_yield (struct pardevice *dev)
545 int parport_yield_blocking (struct pardevice *dev);
549 When a driver has control of a parallel port, it may allow another
550 driver to temporarily 'borrow' it. 'parport_yield' does not block;
551 'parport_yield_blocking' may do.
555 A return value of zero indicates that the caller still owns the port
556 and the call did not block.
558 A positive return value from 'parport_yield_blocking' indicates that
559 the caller still owns the port and the call blocked.
561 A return value of -EAGAIN indicates that the caller no longer owns the
562 port, and it must be re-claimed before use.
566 -EAGAIN Ownership of the parallel port was given away.
572 parport_wait_peripheral - wait for status lines, up to 35ms
573 -----------------------
577 #include <linux/parport.h>

630 int parport_wait_event (struct parport *port, signed long timeout)
634 Wait for an event (e.g. interrupt) on a port. The timeout is in
640 <0 error (exit as soon as possible)
643 parport_negotiate - perform IEEE 1284 negotiation
648 #include <linux/parport.h>
650 int parport_negotiate (struct parport *, int mode);
654 Perform IEEE 1284 negotiation.
658 0 handshake OK; IEEE 1284 peripheral and mode available
659 -1 handshake failed; peripheral not compliant (or none present)
660 1 handshake OK; IEEE 1284 peripheral present but mode not
665 parport_read, parport_write
667 parport_read - read data from device
672 #include <linux/parport.h>
674 ssize_t parport_read (struct parport *, void *buf, size_t len);
678 Read data from device in current IEEE 1284 transfer mode. This only
679 works for modes that support reverse data transfer.
683 If negative, an error code; otherwise the number of bytes transferred.
687 parport_write, parport_negotiate
689 parport_write - write data to device
694 #include <linux/parport.h>
696 ssize_t parport_write (struct parport *, const void *buf, size_t len);
700 Write data to device in current IEEE 1284 transfer mode. This only
701 works for modes that support forward data transfer.
705 If negative, an error code; otherwise the number of bytes transferred.
709 parport_read, parport_negotiate
711 parport_open - register device for particular device number
716 #include <linux/parport.h>
718 struct pardevice *parport_open (int devnum, const char *name,
721 void (*irqf) (int, void *,
723 int flags, void *handle);
727 This is like parport_register_device but takes a device number instead
728 of a pointer to a struct parport.
732 See parport_register_device. If no device is associated with devnum,
737 parport_register_device
739 parport_close - unregister device for particular device number
744 #include <linux/parport.h>
746 void parport_close (struct pardevice *dev);
750 This is the equivalent of parport_unregister_device for parport_open.
754 parport_unregister_device, parport_open
756 parport_device_id - obtain IEEE 1284 Device ID
761 #include <linux/parport.h>
763 ssize_t parport_device_id (int devnum, char *buffer, size_t len);
767 Obtains the IEEE 1284 Device ID associated with a given device.
771 If negative, an error code; otherwise, the number of bytes of buffer
772 that contain the device ID. The format of the device ID is as
777 The first two bytes indicate the inclusive length of the entire Device
778 ID, and are in big-endian order. The ID is a sequence of pairs of the
785 Many devices have ill-formed IEEE 1284 Device IDs.
789 parport_find_class, parport_find_device
791 parport_device_coords - convert device number to device coordinates
796 #include <linux/parport.h>
798 int parport_device_coords (int devnum, int *parport, int *mux,
803 Convert between device number (zero-based) and device coordinates
804 (port, multiplexor, daisy chain address).
808 Zero on success, in which case the coordinates are (*parport, *mux,

897 parport_set_timeout - set the inactivity timeout
902 #include <linux/parport.h>
904 long parport_set_timeout (struct pardevice *dev, long inactivity);
908 Set the inactivity timeout, in jiffies, for a registered device. The
909 previous timeout is returned.
913 The previous timeout, in jiffies.
917 Some of the port->ops functions for a parport may take time, owing to
918 delays at the peripheral. After the peripheral has not responded for
919 'inactivity' jiffies, a timeout will occur and the blocking function
922 A timeout of 0 jiffies is a special case: the function must do as much
923 as it can without blocking or leaving the hardware in an unknown
924 state. If port operations are performed from within an interrupt
925 handler, for instance, a timeout of 0 jiffies should be used.
927 Once set for a registered device, the timeout will remain at the set
928 value until set again.
932 port->ops->xxx_read/write_yyy
937 The functions in the port->ops structure (struct parport_operations)
938 are provided by the low-level driver responsible for that port.
940 port->ops->read_data - read the data register
945 #include <linux/parport.h>
947 struct parport_operations {
949 unsigned char (*read_data) (struct parport *port);
955 If port->modes contains the PARPORT_MODE_TRISTATE flag and the
956 PARPORT_CONTROL_DIRECTION bit in the control register is set, this
957 returns the value on the data pins. If port->modes contains the
958 PARPORT_MODE_TRISTATE flag and the PARPORT_CONTROL_DIRECTION bit is
959 not set, the return value _may_ be the last value written to the data
960 register. Otherwise the return value is undefined.

989 ----------------------
993 #include <linux/parport.h>
995 struct parport_operations {
997 unsigned char (*read_status) (struct parport *port);
1003 Reads from the status register. This is a bitmask:
1005 - PARPORT_STATUS_ERROR (printer fault, "nFault")
1006 - PARPORT_STATUS_SELECT (on-line, "Select")
1007 - PARPORT_STATUS_PAPEROUT (no paper, "PError")
1008 - PARPORT_STATUS_ACK (handshake, "nAck")

1085 This is equivalent to reading from the control register, masking out
1086 the bits in mask, exclusive-or'ing with the bits in val, and writing
1087 the result to the control register.

1104 struct parport_operations {
1106 void (*enable_irq) (struct parport *port);
1112 The parallel port hardware is instructed to generate interrupts at
1113 appropriate moments, although those moments are
1114 architecture-specific. For the PC architecture, interrupts are
1115 commonly generated on the rising edge of nAck.
