NAME¶

usb_control_msg - Builds a control urb, sends it off and waits for completion

SYNOPSIS¶

int usb_control_msg(struct usb_device * dev, unsigned int pipe, __u8 request, __u8 requesttype, __u16 value, __u16 index, void * data, __u16 size, int timeout);

ARGUMENTS¶

dev

pipe

request

requesttype

value

index

data

size

timeout

CONTEXT¶

!in_interrupt ()

DESCRIPTION¶

This function sends a simple control message to a specified endpoint and waits for the message to complete, or timeout.

Don't use this function from within an interrupt context. If you need an asynchronous message, or need to send a message from within interrupt context, use usb_submit_urb. If a thread in your driver uses this call, make sure your disconnect method can wait for it to complete. Since you don't have a handle on the URB used, you can't cancel the request.

RETURN¶

If successful, the number of bytes transferred. Otherwise, a negative error number.
