Get the partition entry
#include <sys/dcmd_blk.h> #define DCMD_BLK_PARTENTRY __DIOF(_DCMD_BLK, 1, struct partition_entry)
Argument | Value |
---|---|
filedes | A file descriptor that you obtained by opening the device. |
dcmd | DCMD_BLK_PARTENTRY |
dev_data_ptr | A pointer to a struct partition_entry that the device can fill in (see below) |
n_bytes | sizeof(struct partition_entry) |
dev_info_ptr | NULL |
This command gets the partition entry for the device associated with the given file descriptor. It's used by x86 disk partitions with harddisk-based filesystems.
None.
The struct partition_entry (or partition_entry_t) is defined in <sys/disk.h> as follows:
typedef struct partition_entry { unsigned char boot_ind, beg_head, beg_sector, beg_cylinder, os_type, end_head, end_sector, end_cylinder; uint32_t part_offset, part_size; } partition_entry_t;
The members include:
partition_entry_t *prt; memset(&prt, 0, sizeof(prt)); if(devctl(fd, DCMD_BLK_PARTENTRY, prt, sizeof(*prt), 0) == EOK) { ... }
