Named after the channel command word (ccw), the basic + command structure used to address its devices, the ccw bus contains + so-called channel attached devices. They are addressed via subchannels, + visible on the css bus. A device driver, however, will never interact + with the subchannel directly, but only via the device on the ccw bus, + the ccw device. + </para> + <sect1 id="channelIO"> + <title>I/O functions for channel-attached devices</title> + <para> + Some hardware structures have been translated into C structures for use + by the common I/O layer and device drivers.
