   5 * This structure defines the interface between the tty line discipline
   6 * implementation and the tty routines.  The following routines can be
   7 * defined; unless noted otherwise, they are optional, and can be
   8 * filled in with a null pointer.
   9 *
  10 * int  (*open)(struct tty_struct *);
  11 *
  12 *      This function is called when the line discipline is associated
  13 *      with the tty.  The line discipline can use this as an
  14 *      opportunity to initialize any state needed by the ldisc routines.
  15 * 
  16 * void (*close)(struct tty_struct *);
  17 *
  18 *      This function is called when the line discipline is being
  19 *      shutdown, either because the tty is being closed or because
  20 *      the tty is being changed to use a new line discipline
  21 * 
  22 * void (*flush_buffer)(struct tty_struct *tty);
  23 *
  24 *      This function instructs the line discipline to clear its
  25 *      buffers of any input characters it may have queued to be
  26 *      delivered to the user mode process.
  27 * 
  28 * ssize_t (*chars_in_buffer)(struct tty_struct *tty);
  29 *
  30 *      This function returns the number of input characters the line
  31 *      discipline may have queued up to be delivered to the user mode
  32 *      process.
  33 * 
  34 * ssize_t (*read)(struct tty_struct * tty, struct file * file,
  35 *                 unsigned char * buf, size_t nr);
  36 *
  37 *      This function is called when the user requests to read from
  38 *      the tty.  The line discipline will return whatever characters
  39 *      it has buffered up for the user.  If this function is not
  40 *      defined, the user will receive an EIO error.
  41 * 
  42 * ssize_t (*write)(struct tty_struct * tty, struct file * file,
  43 *                  const unsigned char * buf, size_t nr);
  44 *
  45 *      This function is called when the user requests to write to the
  46 *      tty.  The line discipline will deliver the characters to the
  47 *      low-level tty device for transmission, optionally performing
  48 *      some processing on the characters first.  If this function is
  49 *      not defined, the user will receive an EIO error.
  50 * 
  51 * int  (*ioctl)(struct tty_struct * tty, struct file * file,
  52 *               unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg);
  53 *
  54 *      This function is called when the user requests an ioctl which
  55 *      is not handled by the tty layer or the low-level tty driver.
  56 *      It is intended for ioctls which affect line discpline
  57 *      operation.  Note that the search order for ioctls is (1) tty
  58 *      layer, (2) tty low-level driver, (3) line discpline.  So a
  59 *      low-level driver can "grab" an ioctl request before the line
  60 *      discpline has a chance to see it.
  61 * 
  62 * void (*set_termios)(struct tty_struct *tty, struct termios * old);
  63 *
  64 *      This function notifies the line discpline that a change has
  65 *      been made to the termios structure.
  66 * 
  67 * int  (*poll)(struct tty_struct * tty, struct file * file,
  68 *                poll_table *wait);
  69 *
  70 *      This function is called when a user attempts to select/poll on a
  71 *      tty device.  It is solely the responsibility of the line
  72 *      discipline to handle poll requests.
  73 *
  74 * void (*receive_buf)(struct tty_struct *, const unsigned char *cp,
  75 *                     char *fp, int count);
  76 *
  77 *      This function is called by the low-level tty driver to send
  78 *      characters received by the hardware to the line discpline for
  79 *      processing.  <cp> is a pointer to the buffer of input
  80 *      character received by the device.  <fp> is a pointer to a
  81 *      pointer of flag bytes which indicate whether a character was
  82 *      received with a parity error, etc.
  83 * 
  84 * void (*write_wakeup)(struct tty_struct *);
  85 *
  86 *      This function is called by the low-level tty driver to signal
  87 *      that line discpline should try to send more characters to the
  88 *      low-level driver for transmission.  If the line discpline does
  89 *      not have any more data to send, it can just return.
  90 *
  91 * int (*hangup)(struct tty_struct *)
  92 *
  93 *      Called on a hangup. Tells the discipline that it should
  94 *      cease I/O to the tty driver. Can sleep. The driver should
  95 *      seek to perform this action quickly but should wait until
  96 *      any pending driver I/O is completed.
