The LDDRIVER understands all functioncodes normally available
for disks. Some special functions are used to control the
logical disk driver. When loaded as a tape (LMax) it will
understand tape functioncodes.
All functions assume that a channel has been assigned to
the device on which to operate. One exception is the 'Connect'
function which needs a channel to LDA0:. This will then create
a new device (because LDA0: is a cloned device).
A file with LDdriver specific definitions is included in the
kit (LDDEF.H). This file will be included in VMS from version
V8.2-1 and up.
The only function to control the driver is IO$_LD_CONTROL
which is defined in LDDEF.H.
A sub-function must be given as P6 of the QIO request.
