NAME
       ses - SCSI enclosure services device driver

SYNOPSIS
       ses@target,lun

DESCRIPTION
       The   ses  device driver is an interface to SCSI enclosure services devices. These devices sense and monitor the physical conditions within
       an enclosure as well as allow access to the status reporting and configuration features of the enclosure (such as  indicator  LEDs  on  the
       enclosure.)

       ioctl(9E) calls may be issued to ses to determine the state of the enclosure and to set parameters on the enclosure services device.

       No ses driver properties are defined. Use the ses.conf file to configure the ses driver.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1: ses.conf File Format

       The following is an example of the ses.conf file format:

IOCTLS
       The  SES  driver currently supports the SES, SAFTE and SEN enclosure service chipsets. SEN and SAFTE protocols are translated internally in
       the driver into SES compliant data structures. This enables the SES driver to work seamlessly with  different protocols and eliminates  the
       need to enhance user applications.

       SESIOC_GETNOBJ

	   Returns an unsigned integer that represents the number of SES data structures in the enclosure services chip.

       SESIOC_GETOBJMAP

	   Returns a size array containing ses_object elements communicated through SESIOC_GETNOBJ(). ses_object is defined in sesio.h.

       SESIOC_INIT

	   Instructs the device to perform a self-diagnostic test. Currently SES & SEN devices always return success.

       SESIOC_GETENCSTAT

	   Returns  an	unsigned character that represents status enclosure as defined by Table 25 in Section 7.1.2 of the SES specification NCITS
	   305-199x.

       SESIOC_GETOBJSTAT

	   This ioctl is passed an ses_objarg containing the obj_id you want to set, then fills in the remaining fields according to element  sta-
	   tus page of the SES specification.

       SESIOC_SETOBJSTAT

	   Sets  options  in  the control field. You set control field options by filling out all fields in ses_objarg. Field definitions are pre-
	   sented in Section 7.2.2 of the SES specification.
