ly message, depending on whether or not "quick io" is requested, and whether or not the device can complete the command immediately. You request "quick io" by setting the IOF_QUICK bit in the IO request structure's io_Flags member. This bit flag is defined in io.h. If this bit is set and a device can complete a command immediately, it leaves the bit set, processes the command, and returns control to its calling program. In this case, the device does not send a reply message.
