24 /* SYNOPSIS */
25 AROS_LHA(CONST_STRPTR, devName, A0),
26 AROS_LHA(IPTR, unitNumber, D0),
27 AROS_LHA(struct IORequest *, iORequest, A1),

31 struct ExecBase *, SysBase, 74, Exec)
33 /* FUNCTION
34 Tries to open a device and fill the iORequest structure. An error
35 is returned if this fails, 0 if all went well.
37 If the device doesn't exist in the current system device list, then
38 first the system ROMtag module list, then if the DOS is running,
39 then the DEVS: directory will be tried.
41 INPUTS
42 devName - Pointer to the devices's name.
43 unitNumber - The unit number. Most often 0. In some special cases this can be
44 a pointer to something (device-dependent).
45 iORequest - Pointer to device specific information.
46 Will be filled out by the device.
47 Must lie in public (or at least shared) memory.
48 flags - Some flags to give to the device.
50 RESULT
51 Error code or 0 if all went well. The same value can be found
52 in the io_Error field.
54 NOTES
55 Return type is internally extended to LONG in all existing official ROMs
56 (EXT.W D0 + EXT.L D0) DoIO() and WaitIO() do the same.
57 Many programs assume LONG return code, even some WB utilities.
