Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     When supported by the driver, this subfunction can be used to
     request hardware-dependent operations (such as tape rewind or disk
     eject) that are not provided by other MS-DOS function calls.
 
     Block device drivers are not required to support IOCTL Subfunction
     05h. If this subfunction is requested and the driver does not have
     the ability to process control data, control returns to the
     program with the carry flag set and error code 0001h (invalid
     function) in register AX.
