d_strategy: Perform I/O for internal functions
This type of function is called by the
file system code when input/output to the physical device is to be
performed. It is normally defined only for block special devices,
but can also be defined by character special devices. There is no
external interface to the file system that allows a user to use the
strategy function. A prime example of the use of this function is z/TPF system database
block special device driver
cbdtpf.cpp. It is used
by both the fixed file system (FFS) and pool file system (PFS) for database
access. Note: This function type provides the interface definition
for user-defined device drivers that are called by z/TPF system programs,
and cannot be called from your application programs. See Special files for more information about user-defined
device driver functions.
