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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Description:  IOCTL (I/O Control)
 
  Provides a direct path of communication between an application program
  and a device driver. Allows a program to obtain hardware-dependent in-
  formation and to request operations that are not supported by other
  MS-DOS function calls.
