31.Sh NAME
32.Nm pt
33.Nd SCSI processor type driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd device pt
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39driver provides support for a
40.Tn SCSI
41processor type device.
42These are usually scanners and other devices using the
43.Tn SCSI
44link as a communication interface with device
45specific commands embedded in the data stream.
46.Pp
47A
48.Tn SCSI
49adapter must be separately configured into the system
50before this driver can be used.
51.Pp
52This device supports
53.Xr read 2
54and
55.Xr write 2 ,
56and the
57.Xr ioctl 2
58calls described below.
59.Sh IOCTLS
60The following
61.Xr ioctl 2
62calls are supported by the
63.Nm
64driver.
65They are defined in the header file
66.In sys/ptio.h .
67.Bl -tag -width 012345678901234
68.It PTIOCGETTIMEOUT
69This ioctl allows userland applications to fetch the current
70.Nm
71driver read and write timeout.
72The value returned is in seconds.
73.It PTIOCSETTIMEOUT
74This ioctl allows userland applications to set the current
75.Nm
76driver read and write timeouts.
77The value should be in seconds.
