| 5 | None of these files will get updated automatically, and are frozen at their |

| 8 | The files under the scsi directory are frozen copies of kernel scsi headers. |
| 9 | Linux's scsi headers are a mix of userspace-facing and kernel-facing |
| 10 | declarations that can't be directly used by userspace. The glibc |
| 11 | maintainers manually copy-and-pasted these definitions into their own |
| 12 | scsi headers and haven't substantially updated them in 15 years. The |
| 13 | musl libc project has a similar set of definitions in its scsi headers. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | These files are actually maintained in external/kernel-headers/modified/scsi. |
| 16 | Any modification should first be made there then copied into the scsi |
| 17 | directory. |
