NAME

       pci_read_rom - read a PCI ROM

SYNOPSIS

       ssize_t pci_read_rom(struct file * filp, struct kobject * kobj, struct bin_attribute * bin_attr, char * buf, loff_t off, size_t count);

ARGUMENTS

       filp
	   sysfs file

       kobj
	   kernel object handle

       bin_attr
	   struct bin_attribute for this file

       buf
	   where to put the data we read from the ROM

       off
	   file offset

       count
	   number of bytes to read

DESCRIPTION

       Put count bytes starting at off into buf from the ROM in the PCI device corresponding to kobj.

NAME

       pread, pwrite - read from or write to a file descriptor at a given offset

SYNOPSIS

       #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500

       #include <unistd.h>

       ssize_t pread(int fd, void *buf, size_t count, off_t offset);

       ssize_t pwrite(int fd, const void *buf, size_t count, off_t offset);

DESCRIPTION

       pread() reads up to count bytes from file descriptor fd at offset offset (from the start of the file) into the buffer starting at buf.  The
       file offset is not changed.

       pwrite() writes up to count bytes from the buffer starting at buf to the file descriptor fd at offset  offset.	The  file  offset  is  not
       changed.

       The file referenced by fd must be capable of seeking.

RETURN VALUE

       On  success,  the  number of bytes read or written is returned (zero indicates that nothing was written, in the case of pwrite(), or end of
       file, in the case of pread()), or -1 on error, in which case errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       pread() can fail and set errno to any error specified for read(2) or lseek(2).  pwrite() can fail and set errno to any error specified  for
       write(2) or lseek(2).

VERSIONS

       The  pread()  and  pwrite()  system  calls  were  added to Linux in version 2.1.60; the entries in the i386 system call table were added in
       2.1.69.	C library support (including emulation using lseek(2) on older kernels without the system calls) was added in glibc 2.1.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001.
