29.Sh NAME
30.Nm pt
31.Nd SCSI processor type driver
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.Cd device pt
34.Sh DESCRIPTION
35The
36.Nm
37driver provides support for a
38.Tn SCSI
39processor type device.
40These are usually scanners and other devices using the
41.Tn SCSI
42link as a communication interface with device
43specific commands embedded in the data stream.
44.Pp
45A
46.Tn SCSI
47adapter must be separately configured into the system
48before this driver can be used.
49.Pp
50This device supports
51.Xr read 2
52and
53.Xr write 2 ,
54and the
55.Xr ioctl 2
56calls described below.
57.Sh IOCTLS
58The following
59.Xr ioctl 2
60calls are supported by the
61.Nm
62driver.
63They are defined in the header file
64.In sys/ptio.h .
65.Bl -tag -width 012345678901234
66.It PTIOCGETTIMEOUT
67This ioctl allows userland applications to fetch the current
68.Nm
69driver read and write timeout.
70The value returned is in seconds.
71.It PTIOCSETTIMEOUT
72This ioctl allows userland applications to set the current
73.Nm
74driver read and write timeouts.
75The value should be in seconds.
