DESCRIPTION

       The  IFDHCreateChannel()  function is similar to IFDHCreateChannelByName(3SMARTCARD). It takes Channel (a number) as an argument instead of
       the device name string. The Channel argument is typically passed from configuration information by the smart card  framework  server/daemon
       (the caller) to the IFD handler. The IFD handler can use this Channel appropriately to create a communication channel to the card terminal.

RETURN VALUES

       The following values are returned:

       IFD_SUCCESS		       Successful completion.

       IFD_COMMUNICATION_ERROR	       An error has occurred.
