NAME
       makecom, makecom_g0, makecom_g0_s, makecom_g1, makecom_g5 - make a packet for SCSI commands

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>

       void makecom_g0(struct scsi_pkt *pkt, struct scsi_device *devp, int flag, int cmd, int addr, int cnt);

       void makecom_g0_s(struct scsi_pkt *pkt, struct scsi_device *devp, int flag, int cmd, int cnt, int fixbit);

       void makecom_g1(struct scsi_pkt *pkt, struct scsi_device *devp, int flag, int cmd, int addr, int cnt);

       void makecom_g5(struct scsi_pkt *pkt, struct scsi_device *devp, int flag, int cmd, int addr, int cnt);

INTERFACE LEVEL
       These interfaces are obsolete. scsi_setup_cdb(9F) should be used instead.

PARAMETERS
       pkt	       Pointer to an allocated scsi_pkt(9S) structure.

       devp	       Pointer to the target's scsi_device(9S) structure.

       flag	       Flags for the pkt_flags member.

       cmd	       First byte of a group 0 or 1 or 5 SCSI CDB.

       addr	       Pointer to the location of the data.

       cnt	       Data transfer length in units defined by the SCSI device type. For sequential devices cnt is the number of bytes. For block
		       devices, cnt is the number of blocks.

       fixbit	       Fixed bit in sequential access device commands.

DESCRIPTION
       makecom functions initialize a packet with the specified command descriptor block, devp and transport flags.  The  pkt_address,	pkt_flags,
       and  the command descriptor block pointed to by pkt_cdbp are initialized using the remaining arguments. Target drivers may use makecom_g0()
       for Group 0 commands (except for sequential access devices), or makecom_g0_s() for Group 0 commands for sequential access devices, or make-
       com_g1() for Group 1 commands,  or makecom_g5() for Group 5 commands. fixbit is used by sequential access devices for accessing fixed block
       sizes and sets the the tag portion of the SCSI CDB.

CONTEXT
       These functions can be called from user or interrupt context.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1: Using makecom Functions

       if (blkno >= (1<<20)) {
	     makecom_g1(pkt, SD_SCSI_DEVP, pflag, SCMD_WRITE_G1,
		(int) blkno, nblk);
       } else {
	     makecom_g0(pkt, SD_SCSI_DEVP, pflag, SCMD_WRITE,
		(int) blkno, nblk);
       }

NOTES
       The makecom_g0(), makecom_g0_s(), makecom_g1(), and makecom_g5() functions are obsolete and will be discontinued in a future release. These
       functions have been replaced by the scsi_setup_cdb() function.  See scsi_setup_cdb(9F).
