To decode a hex IOCTL code:

Most architecures 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.

 bits    meaning

 31-30  00 - no parameters: uses _IO macro

        10 - read: _IOR

        01 - write: _IOW

        11 - read/write: _IOWR

 29-16  size of arguments

 15-8   ascii character supposedly

        unique to each driver

 7-0    function #

 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])
