  Title:       IOCTL: Write Control Data to Block Device Driver
 
  Description:
 
     Transfers control data from an application program directly to a
     block device driver. The length and contents of the control data
     are specific to each device driver and do not follow any standard
     format. This function does not necessarily result in any output to
     the physical device.
