40.Sh NAME
41.Nm fd
42.Nd Sun 3/80 i82027 floppy disk drive controller driver
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "fdc0 at obio0" Pq sun3x
45.Cd "fd* at fdc0"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49driver is for the built-in floppy diskette drive run by the
50.Tn Intel
51i82027 controller found on the Sun 3/80.
52.Pp
53Bits
54.Bq 0-3
55of the minor device number of the special files referring to this
56device encode the floppy density as follows:
57.Bl -tag -width indent -offset indent
58.It 0
593.5'' 1.44MB floppy diskettes.
60.It 1
613.5'' 720KB floppy diskettes.
62.It 2
633.5'' 360KB floppy diskettes.
64.It 3
653.5'' 1.2MB/NEC Japanese format floppy diskettes.
66.El
67.Sh FORMATTING
68The driver supports floppy disk formatting using the interfaces in
69.Pa Aq sys/fdio.h :
70.Pp
71.Bl -tag -width FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK -compact
72.It Dv FDIOCGETFORMAT Fa struct fdformat_parms
73Fetch current formatting parameters.
74This gets the default parameters
75for the open device if no parameters have been set during the session.
76.Pp
77.It Dv FDIOCSETFORMAT Fa struct fdformat_parms
78Set formatting parameters.
79The driver saves this state and it persists while the device is open.
80.Pp
81.It Dv FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK Fa struct fdformat_cmd
82Format a track on the medium.
83If this call returns
84.Er EINVAL ,
85the track formatting parameters were out of range for the medium.
86If it returns
87.Er EIO ,
88there was a medium error while formatting the track.
89.Pp
90.It Dv FDIOCSETOPTS Fa int
91Set driver options which persist until the device is closed.
92The
93options should be the logical OR of the desired values below:
94.Pp
95.Bl -tag -width FDOPT_NORETRY -compact
96.It Dv FDOPT_NORETRY
97Do not retry operations on failure
98.It Dv FDOPT_SILENT
99Do not print error messages to the console
100.El
101.Pp
102.It Dv FDIOCGETOPTS Fa int
103Fetch drive options.
104.El
105.Pp
106A typical use of the formatting facilities would be to open the device,
107call
108.Dv FDIOCGETFORMAT
109to fetch the current format parameters, perhaps
110change a parameter or two, display the formatting details to the user,
111and then call
112.Dv FDIOCSETFORMAT
113followed by a series of calls to
114.Dv FDIOCFORMAT_TRACK .
115.Sh SEE ALSO
116.Xr eject 1 ,
117.Xr fdformat 1
118.Sh HISTORY
119The
120.Nm
121formatting support appeared in
122.Nx 1.3 .
123.Sh BUGS
124Formatting appears to not work reliably on all machines.
