The time required to assess will be determined by the design of the application. However most of the time you'll only see the ioctls at initial open and configuration of the device unless the app reconfigures it dynamically at runtime. <br><div><br></div>Sent from my iPhone<br><div><br></div>> On May 30, 2015, at 9:05 AM, Sergio Chaves <<a href="mailto:sergio.chaves@gmail.com" target="_blank">sergio.chaves@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>> <br>> Yes and No is a 50/50 chance!<br>> I am a little, no - a lot , ignorant on this topic.
