NAME

     targ — SCSI target emulator driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel
     configuration file:

           device targ

DESCRIPTION

     The targ driver provides an interface for usermode programs to emulate SCSI target devices.
     A sample program that emulates a disk drive (similar to da(4)) can be found in
     /usr/share/examples/scsi_target.

     The targ driver supplies the control device /dev/targ.  After opening the device, the file
     descriptor must be bound to a specific bus/target/LUN and enabled to process CCBs using the
     TARGIOCENABLE ioctl.  The process then uses write(2) to send CCBs to the SIM and poll(2) or
     kqueue(2) to see if responses are ready.  Pointers to completed CCBs are returned via
     read(2).  Any data transfers requested by the user CCBs are done via zero-copy IO.

IOCTLS

     The following ioctl(2) calls are defined in the header file <cam/scsi/scsi_targetio.h>.

     TARGIOCENABLE   (struct ioc_enable_lun) Enable target mode on the LUN specified by the
                     following structure:

                           struct ioc_enable_lun {
                                   path_id_t       path_id;
                                   target_id_t     target_id;
                                   lun_id_t        lun_id;
                                   int             grp6_len;
                                   int             grp7_len;
                           };

                     The selected path (bus), target, and LUN must not already be in use or
                     EADDRINUSE is returned.  If grp6_len or grp7_len are non-zero, reception of
                     vendor-specific commands is enabled.

     TARGIOCDISABLE  Disable target mode and abort all pending CCBs.  The CCBs may optionally be
                     read as they complete.  TARGIOCENABLE can then be called to activate a
                     different LUN.  Multiple disable calls have no effect.  The close(2) system
                     call automatically disables target mode if enabled.

     TARGIOCDEBUG    (int) Enables CAM_PERIPH debugging if the argument is non-zero, otherwise
                     disables it.

FILES

     <cam/scsi/scsi_targetio.h>   describes the usermode interface.
     /sys/cam/scsi/scsi_target.c  is the driver source file.
     /dev/targ                    is the control device.

AUTHORS

     The targ driver first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0 and was written by Justin T. Gibbs.  It was
     rewritten for FreeBSD 5.0 by Nate Lawson <nate@root.org>.

BUGS

     Currently, only the ahc(4) and isp(4) drivers fully support target mode.

     The ahc(4) driver does not support tagged queuing in target mode.
