+The following

+.Pa /dev/ttyC0 ,
+which are defined in
+.In sys/agpio.h :
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Dv AGPIOC_INFO
+Returns information about the AGP subsystem.
+The result is a pointer to the following structure:

+typedef struct _agp_info {
+ agp_version version; /* version of driver (unused) */
+ u_int32_t bridge_id; /* bridge vendor/device */

+ size_t pg_system; /* max pages (system) */
+ size_t pg_used; /* current pages used */
+} agp_info;
+.Ed
+.It Dv AGPIOC_ACQUIRE
+Acquire control of the AGP chipset for use by this client.
+Returns
+.Er EBUSY
+if the AGP chipset is already acquired by another client.
+.It Dv AGPIOC_RELEASE
+Release control of the AGP chipset.
+This does not unbind or free any allocated memory, which is the
+responsibility of the client to handle if necessary.
+.It Dv AGPIOC_SETUP
+Enable the AGP hardware with the relevant mode.
+This
+.Xr ioctl 2

+The mode bits are defined in

+.It Dv AGPIOC_ALLOCATE
+Allocate physical memory suitable for mapping into the AGP aperture.
+This
+.Xr ioctl 2
+takes the following structure:
+.Bd -literal
+typedef struct _agp_allocate {
+ int key; /* tag of allocation */
+ size_t pg_count; /* number of pages */
+ u_int32_t type; /* 0 == normal, other devspec */

+} agp_allocate;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Returns a handle to the allocated memory.
+.It Dv AGPIOC_DEALLOCATE
+Free the previously allocated memory associated with the handle passed.
+.It Dv AGPIOC_BIND
+Bind the allocated memory at given offset with the AGP aperture.
+Returns
+.Er EINVAL
+if the memory is already bound or the offset is not at AGP page boundary.
+This
+.Xr ioctl 2
+takes the following structure:
