11.4.1.2. ioctl() Operations

The fast version of the JTAG UART driver supports the ioctl() function to allow HAL-based programs to request device-specific operations. Specifically, you can use the ioctl() operations to control the timeout period, and to detect whether or not a host is connected. The fast driver defines the ioctl() operations shown in below.

Table 118.  JTAG UART ioctl() Operations for the Fast Driver Only
Request Meaning
TIOCSTIMEOUT Set the timeout (in seconds) after which the driver will decide that the host is not connected. A timeout of 0 makes the target assume that the host is always connected. The ioctl arg parameter passed in must be a pointer to an integer.
TIOCGCONNECTED Sets the integer arg parameter to a value that indicates whether the host is connected and acting as a terminal (1), or not connected (0). The ioctl arg parameter passed in must be a pointer to an integer.

For details about the ioctl() function, refer to the Nios II Software Developer's Handbook .
