Mac Forum / Programming / Mac Programming / November 2006Porting from BSD to OSX
I'm trying to port some code from BSD to OSX, and I'm wondering if anyone can help me with something. This code relied heavily on the BSD SCSI interface in camlib.h (as well as cam/scsi/scsi_message.h and cam/scsi/scsi_pass.h) to work with a CD drive. Naturally, I'm not seeing these anywhere in OSX. Is there an equivelent somewhere? Or does anyone know of a port I can use that provides a similar high-level interface with the disk? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

It would help if you explained what your tool attempts to do. The solution for the problem you are solving may be different on Mac OS X. If so, searching for the solution you know instead of _a_ solution for your problem can be very frustrating. > Naturally, I'm not seeing these anywhere in OSX. Is there an equivelent > somewhere?

I think you will want to start at <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeviceDrivers/Conceptual/IOKitF undamentals/Introduction/chapter_1_section_1.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP0 000011-CH204-TPXREF101> In particular, read the "Before You Begin" section. One thing it states is: "You might have developed device drivers for other platforms‹ Mac OS 9, perhaps, or BSD or another flavor of UNIX. One thing you¹ll discover reading this document is how different the approach is with the I/O Kit." Reinder P.S: if you Google for documentation, skip anything mentioning "SCSI Manager", and include anything mentioning "I/O Kit" |
