ioctl

[Matt Cheselka]

I'm talking to a device driver that wants the address of a pointer to an array
as it's input.  In C, it looks like this:


	char	linearray[NUM], *subarr;

	<do something with linearray[]>

	subarr = linearry

	ioctl (fd, DO_SOMETHING, &subarr);

How do I do the same thing in python?  What I've got sofar is an array:

	d = array.array('i')
	for i in range (1000):
	    d.append(0)

	ptr, len = d.buffer_info()

But now I need to pass the address of the 'ptr' to the ioctl command.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
