The Linux Manuals (man pages) document is an important part of Linux documents. Linux Manuals are organized as several sections. Each section has a group of commands for a specific area in Linux usage, administration or development.

ata_mode_string – convert xfer_mask to string Synopsis const char *ata_mode_string(unsigned long xfer_mask); Arguments xfer_mask mask of bits supported; only highest bit counts. Description Determine string which represents the highest speed (highest bit in modemask). LOCKING: None. Return Constant C string representing highest speed listed in mode_mask, or the constant C string “<n/a>”. Author Jeff Garzik…
ata_link_online – test whether the given link is online Synopsis bool ata_link_online(struct ata_link * link); Arguments link ATA link to test Description Test whether link is online.

This is identical to ata_phys_link_offline when there’s no slave link. When there’s a slave link, this function should only be called on the master link and will return true if…
ata_link_next – link iteration helper Synopsis struct ata_link *ata_link_next(struct ata_link *link, struct ata_port *ap, enum ata_link_iter_mode mode); Arguments link the previous link, NULL to start ap ATA port containing links to iterate mode iteration mode, one of ATA_LITER_* Description LOCKING: Host lock or EH context. Return Pointer to the next link. Author Jeff Garzik Author….
ata_link_init – Initialize an ata_link structure Synopsis void ata_link_init(struct ata_port *ap, struct ata_link *link, int pmp); Arguments ap ATA port link is attached to link Link structure to initialize pmp Port multiplier port number Description Initialize link. LOCKING: Kernel thread context (may sleep) Author Jeff Garzik Author. Copyright
ata_is_40wire – check drive side detection Synopsis int ata_is_40wire(struct ata_device *dev); Arguments dev device Description Perform drive side detection decoding, allowing for device vendors who can’t follow the documentation. Author Jeff Garzik Author. Copyright
ata_id_xfermask – Compute xfermask from the given IDENTIFY data Synopsis unsigned long ata_id_xfermask(const u16 *id); Arguments id IDENTIFY data to compute xfer mask from Description Compute the xfermask for this device. This is not as trivial as it seems if we must consider early devices correctly. FIXME: pre IDE drive timing (do we care ?)….
ata_id_string – Convert IDENTIFY DEVICE page into string Synopsis void ata_id_string(const u16 *id, unsigned char *s, unsigned int ofs, unsigned int len); Arguments id IDENTIFY DEVICE results we will examine s string into which data is output ofs offset into identify device page len length of string to return. must be an even number. Description…
ata_id_c_string – Convert IDENTIFY DEVICE page into C string Synopsis void ata_id_c_string(const u16 *id, unsigned char *s, unsigned int ofs, unsigned int len); Arguments id IDENTIFY DEVICE results we will examine s string into which data is output ofs offset into identify device page len length of string to return. must be an odd number….
ata_hpa_resize – Resize a device with an HPA set Synopsis int ata_hpa_resize(struct ata_device *dev); Arguments dev Device to resize Description Read the size of an LBA28 or LBA48 disk with HPA features and resize it if required to the full size of the media. The caller must check the drive has the HPA feature set…
ata_host_suspend – suspend host Synopsis int ata_host_suspend(struct ata_host *host, pm_message_t mesg); Arguments host host to suspend mesg PM message Description Suspend host. Actual operation is performed by port suspend. Author Jeff Garzik Author. Copyright
ata_host_start – start and freeze ports of an ATA host Synopsis int ata_host_start(struct ata_host *host); Arguments host ATA host to start ports for Description Start and then freeze ports of host. Started status is recorded in host->flags, so this function can be called multiple times. Ports are guaranteed to get started only once. If host->ops…
ata_host_resume – resume host Synopsis void ata_host_resume(struct ata_host *host); Arguments host host to resume Description Resume host. Actual operation is performed by port resume. Author Jeff Garzik Author. Copyright
ata_host_register – register initialized ATA host Synopsis int ata_host_register(struct ata_host *host, struct scsi_host_template *sht); Arguments host ATA host to register sht template for SCSI host Description Register initialized ATA host. host is allocated using ata_host_alloc and fully initialized by LLD. This function starts ports, registers host with ATA and SCSI layers and probe registered devices….
