ioperm

[Michael Beattie <mickyb@es.co.nz>]

Sorry about the irrelevancy to debian..

Could someone please explain to me the parameters of the C function
'ioperm' ??

I specifically dont understand the second value.

>From the info/man page:



NAME
       ioperm - set port input/output permissions

SYNOPSIS
       #include <unistd.h>

       int  ioperm(unsigned  long  from,  unsigned  long num, int
       turn_on);

DESCRIPTION
       Ioperm sets the port access permission bits for  the  pro-
       cess  for num bytes starting from port address from to the
       value turn_on.  The use of  ioperm  requires  root  privi-
       leges.



TIA,

                       Michael Beattie (mickyb@es.co.nz)
