I need to add a couple of new ioctl calls to the ite interface on the
mac68k port, and I was wondering how I do this? I can see what code I
need to add to ite.c, but what I was really wondering was how do I set it
up in iteioctl.h? In other words, the ioctl's I see are declared like
this:
#define ITEIOC_GETBELL _IOR('I', 128, struct bellparams)
#define ITEIOC_SETBELL _IOW('I', 129, struct bellparams)
#define ITEIOC_RINGBELL _IO('I', 130)
I know basically how this works, too, but how do I pick the number for a
new one? Can I just use 131? Are there any other files that need to be
modified to in order to make this work?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
