Each low-level driver handles a particular style of port +(PC, Amiga, and so on). + +The parport interface to the device driver author can be broken down +into global functions and port functions. + +The global functions are mostly for communicating between the device +driver and the parport subsystem: acquiring a list of available ports, +claiming a port for exclusive use, and so on. They also include +'generic' functions for doing standard things that will work on any +IEEE 1284-capable architecture. + +The port functions are provided by the low-level drivers, although the +core parport module provides generic 'defaults' for some routines. +The port functions can be split into three groups: SPP, EPP, and ECP. + +SPP (Standard Parallel Port) functions modify so-called 'SPP' +registers: data, status, and control. The hardware may not actually +have registers exactly like that, but the PC does and this interface is +modelled after common PC implementations. Other low-level drivers may +be able to emulate most of the functionality. + +EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) functions are provided for reading and +writing in IEEE 1284 EPP mode, and ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) +functions are used for IEEE 1284 ECP mode. (What about BECP? Does +anyone care?) + +Hardware assistance for EPP and/or ECP transfers may or may not be +available, and if it is available it may or may not be used. If +hardware is not used, the transfer will be software-driven. In order +to cope with peripherals that only tenuously support IEEE 1284, a +low-level driver specific function is provided, for altering 'fudge +factors'. + +GLOBAL FUNCTIONS +---------------- + +parport_register_driver - register a device driver with parport +----------------------- + +SYNOPSIS + +#include <linux/parport.h> + +struct parport_driver { + const char *name; + void (*attach) (struct parport *); + void (*detach) (struct parport *); + struct parport_driver *next; +}; +int parport_register_driver (struct parport_driver *driver); + +DESCRIPTION + +In order to be notified about parallel ports when they are detected, +parport_register_driver should be called. Your driver will +immediately be notified of all ports that have already been detected, +and of each new port as low-level drivers are loaded. + +A 'struct parport_driver' contains the textual name of your driver, +a pointer to a function to handle new ports, and a pointer to a +function to handle ports going away due to a low-level driver +unloading. Ports will only be detached if they are not being used +(i.e. there are no devices registered on them). + +The visible parts of the 'struct parport *' argument given to +attach/detach are: + +struct parport +{ + struct parport *next; /* next parport in list */ + const char *name; /* port's name */ + unsigned int modes; /* bitfield of hardware modes */ + struct parport_device_info probe_info; + /* IEEE1284 info */ + int number; /* parport index */ + struct parport_operations *ops; + ... +}; + +There are other members of the structure, but they should not be +touched. + +The 'modes' member summarises the capabilities of the underlying +hardware. It consists of flags which may be bitwise-ored together: + + PARPORT_MODE_PCSPP IBM PC registers are available, + i.e. functions that act on data, + control and status registers are + probably writing directly to the + hardware. + PARPORT_MODE_TRISTATE The data drivers may be turned off. + This allows the data lines to be used + for reverse (peripheral to host) + transfers. + PARPORT_MODE_COMPAT The hardware can assist with + compatibility-mode (printer) + transfers, i.e. compat_write_block. + PARPORT_MODE_EPP The hardware can assist with EPP + transfers. + PARPORT_MODE_ECP The hardware can assist with ECP + transfers. + PARPORT_MODE_DMA The hardware can use DMA, so you might + want to pass ISA DMA-able memory + (i.e. memory allocated using the + GFP_DMA flag with kmalloc) to the + low-level driver in order to take + advantage of it. + +There may be other flags in 'modes' as well. + +The contents of 'modes' is advisory only. For example, if the +hardware is capable of DMA, and PARPORT_MODE_DMA is in 'modes', it +doesn't necessarily mean that DMA will always be used when possible. +Similarly, hardware that is capable of assisting ECP transfers won't +necessarily be used. + +RETURN VALUE + +Zero on success, otherwise an error code. + +ERRORS + +None.

Once you have done that, you will be able to use +parport_claim and parport_release in order to use the port. + +This function will register three callbacks into your driver: +'preempt', 'wakeup' and 'irq'. Each of these may be NULL in order to +indicate that you do not want a callback. + +When the 'preempt' function is called, it is because another driver +wishes to use the parallel port. The 'preempt' function should return +non-zero if the parallel port cannot be released yet -- if zero is +returned, the port is lost to another driver and the port must be +re-claimed before use. + +The 'wakeup' function is called once another driver has released the +port and no other driver has yet claimed it. You can claim the +parallel port from within the 'wakeup' function (in which case the +claim is guaranteed to succeed), or choose not to if you don't need it +now. + +If an interrupt occurs on the parallel port your driver has claimed, +the 'irq' function will be called.
