[comp.sys.sequent] mbad/xpioctl.h : XPIOCZAPHEADER

d89peter@odalix.ida.liu.se (Peter Eriksson) (03/24/91)

I've just ported the 4.3BSD-reno 'bad144' program to our
Balance and when looking thru the include files, I noticed
the mbad/xpioctl.h file that contains just one entry, for the
XPIOCZAPHEADER call. That looked very interresting, and I thought
that perhaps I could use it to tell the device driver/controller new
bad sectors so that I wouldn't have to reboot every time I add a new
one. However, since there is no documentation about that call, I'm
a little unsure just exactly what it does... Any suggestions?
