.Sh NAME
.Nm vscsi
.Nd Virtual SCSI controller
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "vscsi0 at root"
.Cd "scsibus* at vscsi?"
.Pp
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
.Fd #include <sys/ioctl.h>
.Fd #include <sys/scsi/scsi_all.h>
.Fd #include <sys/dev/vscsivar.h>
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
device takes commands from the kernel SCSI midlayer and makes them available
to userland for handling.
Using this interface it is possible to implement virtual SCSI devices that are
usable by the kernel.
.Pp
The following
.Xr ioctl 2
commands are provided to allow userland to dequeue SCSI commands and reply to
them:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact
.It VSCSI_I2T (struct vscsi_ioc_i2t *)
Dequeue a SCSI command.
.Bd -literal -offset indent
struct vscsi_ioc_i2t {
	int			tag;

	u_int			target;
	u_int			lun;

	struct scsi_generic	cmd;
	size_t			cmdlen;

	size_t			datalen;
	int			direction;
#define VSCSI_DIR_NONE		0
#define VSCSI_DIR_READ		1
#define VSCSI_DIR_WRITE		2
};
.Ed
.Pp
.It VSCSI_DATA_READ (struct vscsi_ioc_data *)
.It VSCSI_DATA_WRITE (struct vscsi_ioc_data *)
Read or write data in response to a SCSI command identified by tag.
.Bd -literal -offset indent
struct vscsi_ioc_data {
	int			tag;

	void *			data;
	size_t			datalen;
};
.Ed
.Pp
.It VSCSI_T2I (struct vscsi_ioc_t2i *)
Signal completion of a SCSI command identified by tag.
.Bd -literal -offset indent
struct vscsi_ioc_t2i {
	int			tag;

	int			status;
#define VSCSI_STAT_DONE		0
#define VSCSI_STAT_SENSE	1
#define VSCSI_STAT_ERR		2
