This function retrieves the current status of a LDAn device: Function: IO$_LD_CONTROL Method 1 (old): P1 = address of buffer which receives the device- or filename currently connected P2 = size of buffer which receives the device- or filename P3 = address of 3 word buffer which receives the file-id of the connected file P4 = Address of buffer to receive start lbn (for lbn mapping) P5 = Address of buffer to receive end lbn (for lbn mapping) P6 = Subfunction: LDIO$K_GET_CONNECTION Method 2 (new, preferred): P1 = address of itemlist describing the connection P6 = Subfunction: LDIO$K_GET_CONNECTION |LDIO$M_ITEMLIST The itemlist consist of entries like this: BUFLEN (word) - Length of buffer ITEM (word) - Item description: LDITM$K_EXTENDSIZE LDITM$K_EXTENDLIMIT LDITM$K_DEVICENAME LDITM$K_FILEID LDITM$K_STARTLBN LDITM$K_ENDLBN LDITM$K_FLAGS ADDR (longword) - Pointer to buffer RLENGTH (longword) - Returned data length IOSB word 0 = status word 1 = number of characters transferred longword 1 = status flag bit 0 : 0 = disconnected 1 = connected bit 1 : 0 = normal connection 1 = replaced drive bit 2 : 0 = normal connection 1 = replaced to DECRAM disk bit 3 : 0 = normal access 1 = write protected bit 4 : 0 = local access 1 = shared access bit 8 : 0 = normal timing 1 = accurate timing bit 9 : 0 = normal trace 1 = FDT trace active bit 10: 0 = normal connection 1 = LBN mapping used The buffer specified in the P1 parameter is only valid when the unit is connected (IOSB longword 1 bit 0 set). If a buffersize of 0 is specified only the status is returned. The itemlist consist of entries like this: Errors returned: SS$_ACCVIO Buffer can not be written SS$_DEVINACT Device not connected SS$_NORMAL Successful completion
