#2836: Add posix_devctl()
---------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter: joel.sherrill | Owner: joel.sherrill
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 4.12
Component: cpukit | Version: 4.12
Severity: normal | Keywords:
---------------------------+---------------------------
The posix_devctl() method is defined in POSIX 1003.26 and required by the
FACE POSIX profiles. The only use case that needs to be supported is
FIONBIO on sockets per the FACE Technical Standard.
ioctl() is not a standardized method per POSIX and is not included in the
FACE Profiles.
Making operations non-blocking can also be done with fcntl() but due to
RTOS qualification concerns, fcntl() is not included in the more stringent
FACE profiles. Specifically, it is not in the Safety Base profile which
matches the RTEMS POSIX capabilities.
