We are considering wrapping just the call to pioctl but the use
of the the ViceIoctl parameter in pioctl is quite, say, c-ish:
e.g. VIOCGETVOLSTAT fills viceioctl.out with struct VolumeStaus
(concatenated with the volume name, actually) and
recovering the data in php seems not-so-polite.
May be we will end with a wrapped pioctl that and a few
opcode-specific ViceIoctl converters to get the data
where required (ACLs are an example where php procssing is
straightforward).

Hi,
I wrote, mostly to understand the difficulties, a tiny php extension
wrapping a couple of pioctl calls.
Actually WHEREIS,GETACL,GETVOLSTAT are in the code and I think that
writing the extension is less problematic than processing 'fs'
output.
The code (that is really a quick-and-dirty test) can be downloaded
at the URL:
http://ununtrio.math.unifi.it/PHP/
where a working test (test.php) is available.
Most of the code is from fs.c.
Any criticism will be apreciated.
I'd like to ear ideas on the general layout of the extension (OO ?) and
on the "operations" that may be useful to implement.
I wonder if you wouldn't be better off implementing only a thin wrapper
around pioctl() in C, and doing the operation-specific parts entirely in PHP.
