NAME

pdcs_info_write - This function handles boot flag modifying.

SYNOPSIS

"SYNOPSIS"

ssize_t pdcs_info_write (struct subsystem * entry, const char * buf, size_t count);

ARGUMENTS

entry: An allocated and populated subsytem struct. We don't use it tho.
buf: The input buffer to read from.
count: The number of bytes to be read.

DESCRIPTION

We will call this function to change the current boot flags.

WE EXPECT A PRECISE SYNTAX

\``n n\'' (n == 0 or 1) to toggle respectively AutoBoot and AutoSearch

As of now there is no incentive on my side to provide more ``knobs'' to that interface, since modifying the rest of the data is pretty meaningless when the machine is running and for the expected use of that facility, such as PALO setting up the boot disk when installing a Linux distribution...
