33.Sh NAME
34.Nm fd
35.Nd Sun 3/80 i82027 floppy disk drive controller driver
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "fdc0 at obio0" Pq sun3x
38.Cd "fd* at fdc0"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Nm
42driver is for the built-in floppy diskette drive run by the
43.Tn Intel
44i82027 controller found on the Sun 3/80.
45.Pp
46Bits
47.Bq 0-3
48of the minor device number of the special files referring to this
49device encode the floppy density as follows:
50.Bl -tag -width indent -offset indent
51.It 0
523.5'' 1.44MB floppy diskettes.
53.It 1
543.5'' 720KB floppy diskettes.
55.It 2
563.5'' 360KB floppy diskettes.
57.It 3
583.5'' 1.2MB/NEC Japanese format floppy diskettes.
59.El
60.Sh FORMATTING
61The driver supports floppy disk formatting using the interfaces in
62.In sys/fdio.h :
63.Pp
64.Bl -tag -width FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK -compact
65.It Dv FDIOCGETFORMAT Fa struct fdformat_parms
66Fetch current formatting parameters.
67This gets the default parameters
68for the open device if no parameters have been set during the session.
69.Pp
70.It Dv FDIOCSETFORMAT Fa struct fdformat_parms
71Set formatting parameters.
72The driver saves this state and it persists while the device is open.
73.Pp
74.It Dv FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK Fa struct fdformat_cmd
75Format a track on the medium.
76If this call returns
77.Er EINVAL ,
78the track formatting parameters were out of range for the medium.
79If it returns
80.Er EIO ,
81there was a medium error while formatting the track.
82.Pp
83.It Dv FDIOCSETOPTS Fa int
84Set driver options which persist until the device is closed.
85The
86options should be the logical OR of the desired values below:
87.Pp
88.Bl -tag -width FDOPT_NORETRY -compact
89.It Dv FDOPT_NORETRY
90Do not retry operations on failure
91.It Dv FDOPT_SILENT
92Do not print error messages to the console
93.El
94.Pp
95.It Dv FDIOCGETOPTS Fa int
96Fetch drive options.
97.El
98.Pp
99A typical use of the formatting facilities would be to open the device,
100call
101.Dv FDIOCGETFORMAT
102to fetch the current format parameters, perhaps
103change a parameter or two, display the formatting details to the user,
104and then call
105.Dv FDIOCSETFORMAT
106followed by a series of calls to
107.Dv FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK .
108.Sh SEE ALSO
109.Xr eject 1 ,
110.Xr fdformat 1
111.Sh HISTORY
112The
113.Nm
114formatting support appeared in
115.Nx 1.3 .
116.Sh BUGS
117Formatting appears to not work reliably on all machines.
