usb_pipe_get_private

usb_pipe_set_private(9F)				   Kernel Functions for Drivers 				  usb_pipe_set_private(9F)

NAME

       usb_pipe_set_private, usb_pipe_get_private - USB user-defined pipe data-field facility

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/usb/usba.h>

       int usb_pipe_set_private(usb_pipe_handle_t pipe_handle, usb_opaque_t data);

       usb_opaque_t usb_pipe_get_private (usb_pipe_handle_t pipe_handle);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

PARAMETERS

       For usb_pipe_set_private():

       pipe_handle

	   Pipe handle into which user-defined data is placed.

       data

	   Data to store in the pipe handle.

       For usb_pipe_get_private():

       pipe_handle

	   Pipe handle from which user-defined data is retrieved.

DESCRIPTION

       The  usb_set_driver_private()  function	initializes  the  user-private	data field of the pipe referred to by pipe_handle, using data. The
       user-private data field is  used to store any data the client desires and is not used in any way by the USBA or OS framework. Client  driv-
       ers often store their soft-state here for convenient retrieval by their callback handlers.

       The  usb_get_driver_private()  function	retrieves  the user-private data stored via usb_set_driver_private(), from the pipe referred to by
       pipe_handle.

RETURN VALUES

       For usb_pipe_set_private():

       USB_SUCCESS

	   Private data has been successfully stored in pipe handle.

       USB_INVALID_PIPE

	   pipe_handle argument is NULL or invalid.

	   Pipe is closing or closed.

       USB_INVALID_PERM

	   The pipe_handle argument refers to the default control pipe.

       For usb_pipe_get_private():

       On success: usb_opaque_t pointer to data being retrieved.

       On failure: NULL. Fails if pipe handle is NULL or invalid. Fails if pipe handle is to a pipe which is closing or closed.

CONTEXT

       May be called from user, kernel or interrupt context.

EXAMPLES

	   usb_pipe_handle_t pipe;

	   /* Some driver defined datatype. */
	   xxx_data_t *data = kmem_zalloc(...);

	   usb_pipe_set_private(pipe, data);

	   ----

	   xxx_data_t *xxx_data_ptr = (xxx_data_t *)usb_pipe_get_private(pipe);
