This call may only be made by the superuser. Additionally, it is only permitted when the .Xr securelevel 7 is less than or equal to 0 or the .Va machdep.allowaperture sysctl has been set to a non-zero value. .Pp The permission bitmap contains 1024 bits in 32 longwords. If bit .Va n is clear in the bitmap, then access is granted to I/O port .Va n . If bit .Va n is set in the bitmap, then an attempt to access I/O port .Va n results in delivery of a .Dv SIGBUS signal unless the process's I/O permission level would grant I/O access. .Pp .Sy Note: Code using the .Fn i386_get_ioperm and .Fn i386_set_ioperm functions must be compiled using .Cm -li386 . .Sh RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, .Fn i386_get_ioperm and .Fn i386_set_ioperm return 0. Otherwise, a value of \-1 is returned and the global variable .Va errno is set to indicate the error. .Sh ERRORS .Fn i386_get_ioperm and .Fn i386_set_ioperm will fail if: .Bl -tag -width [EINVAL] .It Bq Er EFAULT .Fa iomap points outside the process's allocated address space. .El .Pp Additionally .Fn i386_set_ioperm will fail if: .Bl -tag -width [EINVAL] .It Bq Er EPERM The caller was not the superuser, or the securelevel is greater than zero and .Va machdep.allowaperture has not been set to a non-zero value. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr i386_iopl 2 .Rs .%A Intel .%T i386 Microprocessor Programmer's Reference Manual .Re .Sh WARNING You can really hose your machine if you enable user-level I/O and write to hardware ports without care. .Sh BUGS The bitmap should really cover 65536 bits, but that's just too big for allocation in a kernel structure. If you need access to ports beyond 1024, use .Xr i386_iopl 2 .
