Most architectures use this generic format, but check

include/ARCH/ioctl.h for specifics, e.g. powerpc

uses 3 bits to encode read/write and 13 bits for size.

31-30 00 - no parameters: uses _IO macro
|
|
|
|
|
10 - read: _IOR
|
|
|
|
|
01 - write: _IOW
|
|
|

|
11 - read/write: _IOWR

So for example 0x82187201 is a read with arg length of 0x218,

character 'r' function 1. Grepping the source reveals this is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#define VFAT_IOCTL_READDIR_BOTH _IOR('r', 1, struct dirent [2])
