It should never be seen by apps. If it can be then it is wrong code. Basically you use it in things like
int err = dev->ioctlfunc(dev, op, arg); if( err != -ENOIOCTLCMD) return err;
/* Driver specific code does not support this ioctl */
switch(op) {
... default: return -ENOTTY; }
Its a way of passing back 'you handle it' - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
