32.Sh NAME
33.Nm pt
34.Nd SCSI processor type driver
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.Cd device pt
37.Cd device pt1 at scbus0 target 3 unit 0
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41driver provides support for a
42.Tn SCSI
43processor type device.  These are usually scanners and other
44devices using the
45.Tn SCSI
46link as a communication interface with device
47specific commands embedded in the data stream.
48.Pp
49A
50.Tn SCSI
51adapter must be separately configured into the system
52before this driver can be used.
53.Pp
54This device supports
55.Xr read 2
56and
57.Xr write 2 ,
58and the
59.Xr ioctl 2
60calls described below.
61.Sh IOCTLS
62The following
63.Xr ioctl 2
64calls are supported by the
65.Nm
66driver.  They are defined in the header file
67.In sys/ptio.h .
68.Bl -tag -width 012345678901234
69.It Dv PTIOCGETTIMEOUT
70This ioctl allows userland applications to fetch the current
71.Nm
72driver read and write timeout.  The value returned is in seconds.
73.It Dv PTIOCSETTIMEOUT
74This ioctl allows userland applications to set the current
75.Nm
76driver read and write timeouts.  The value should be in seconds.
