      5 	pg.h defines the user interface to the generic ATAPI packet
      6         command driver for parallel port ATAPI devices (pg). The
      7 	driver is loosely modelled after the generic SCSI driver, sg,
      8 	although the actual interface is different.
      9 
     10 	The pg driver provides a simple character device interface for
     11         sending ATAPI commands to a device.  With the exception of the
     12 	ATAPI reset operation, all operations are performed by a pair
     13         of read and write operations to the appropriate /dev/pgN device.
     14 	A write operation delivers a command and any outbound data in
     15         a single buffer.  Normally, the write will succeed unless the
     16         device is offline or malfunctioning, or there is already another
     17 	command pending.  If the write succeeds, it should be followed
     18         immediately by a read operation, to obtain any returned data and
     19         status information.  A read will fail if there is no operation
     20         in progress.
     21 
     22 	As a special case, the device can be reset with a write operation,
     23         and in this case, no following read is expected, or permitted.
     24 
     25 	There are no ioctl() operations.  Any single operation
     26 	may transfer at most PG_MAX_DATA bytes.  Note that the driver must
     27         copy the data through an internal buffer.  In keeping with all
     28 	current ATAPI devices, command packets are assumed to be exactly
     29 	12 bytes in length.
     30 
     31 	To permit future changes to this interface, the headers in the
     32 	read and write buffers contain a single character "magic" flag.
     33         Currently this flag must be the character "P".
