.Sh NAME
.Nm pt
.Nd SCSI processor type driver
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd device pt
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for a
.Tn SCSI
processor type device.
These are usually scanners and other devices using the
.Tn SCSI
link as a communication interface with device
specific commands embedded in the data stream.
.Pp
A
.Tn SCSI
adapter must be separately configured into the system
before this driver can be used.
.Pp
This device supports
.Xr read 2
and
.Xr write 2 ,
and the
.Xr ioctl 2
calls described below.
.Sh IOCTLS
.Bl -tag -width 012345678901234
The following
.Xr ioctl 2
calls are supported by the
.Nm
driver.
They are defined in the header file
.In sys/ptio.h .
.Pp
.It PTIOCGETTIMEOUT

driver read and write timeout.
The value returned is in seconds.
.It PTIOCSETTIMEOUT
This ioctl allows userland applications to set the current
