System interface calls and use of header files should conform to the X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4 standards. This ensures portability to other platforms meeting the same standards.
The following table lists the standard set of services available to TU developers. Using only these services provides portability of TUs to other platforms where this diagnostic infrastructure is supported. See "Diagnostic Kernel Extension Interfaces" for more information on these functions, their input parameters, and the function prototypes.

|---|---|---|
| pdiag_open | Opens a device for testing | TU |
| pdiag_close | Frees up a device after testing | TU |
| pdiag_dd_read | Performs a read operation to a device | TU, 32-bit Interrupt |
| pdiag_dd_write | Performs a write operation to a device | TU, 32-bit Interrupt |
| pdiag_dd_dma_setup | Initializes, pins, and cross-memory attaches user buffer for a dma operation | TU |
| pdiag_dd_dma_enable | Enables/disables a dma operation | TU |
