This routine performs a SCSI Position to Element command. This command positions the trasport to the specified destination element. It is used by mrd_position(3mrd) function. The robot_info argument is the address of a robot_info_t that has been opened by mrd_startup(3mrd). This allows multiple position commands (and other commands) to be executed without having to repeat the startup for each command. The transport address is the absolute address of the transport element to be used for the command. Many medium changers allow the use of address zero (0) as the default transport, but some may require a transport address that is valid for the medium changer. For single transport medium changers, the transport base address of the robot_info_t structure, transport_start is a suitable address. The destination address is the absolute addresses to be used as the destination for the command . The absolute address can be calculated from a zero relative address by adding it to the base address for the element type. The routine makes no checks for the validity of the address, relying on the medium changer to do this. A invert value of one (1) can be used on medium changers that support inverting the transport, when this is desired; an optical drive with two sided media. Otherwise a value of zero should be used. This routine uses the dev_status_t structure for handing errors. The dev_status_t structure includes the code, os_status, and SCSI error fields. The following describes how to decode errors with the dev_status_t structure. SCSI Errors SCSI errors are indicated when the value of the valid field of the SCSI error is not equal to 0. The key, asc, and ascq fields provide additional information to help determine the cause of the error. The code usually maps the Additional Sense Code and Additional Sense Code Qualifier (ASC/ASCQ) values to an MRD error. The asc and ascq values are copied from the request sense data returned by the target. The Additional Sense Code (asc) indicates further information related to the error or exception condition reported in the sense key field. The Additional Sense Code Qualifier (ascq) indicates detailed information related to the additional sense code. For more information, consult the SCSI-2 Specification. Operating System Errors Operating system errors are indicated when the value of the valid field of the SCSI error is equal to 0 and the value of the os_ status field is not equal to 0. This result is most likely caused by an operating system error, and probably has a mapped error in MRD. MRD Errors MRD errors are indicated when the value of the os_status field is 0, and the value of the valid field of the SCSI error is 0. This result is most likely caused when MRD encounters its own failure.
