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
	   pointer to the usb device to send the message to

       pipe
	   endpoint "pipe" to send the message to

       request
	   USB message request value

       requesttype
	   USB message request type value

       value
	   USB message value

       index
	   USB message index value

       data
	   pointer to the data to send

       size
	   length in bytes of the data to send

       timeout
	   time in msecs to wait for the message to complete before timing out (if 0 the wait is forever)

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, like a bottom half handler. 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.

NAME

       usb_bulk_msg - Builds a bulk urb, sends it off and waits for completion

SYNOPSIS

       int usb_bulk_msg(struct usb_device * usb_dev, unsigned int pipe, void * data, int len, int * actual_length, int timeout);

ARGUMENTS

       usb_dev
	   pointer to the usb device to send the message to

       pipe
	   endpoint "pipe" to send the message to

       data
	   pointer to the data to send

       len
	   length in bytes of the data to send

       actual_length
	   pointer to a location to put the actual length transferred in bytes

       timeout
	   time in msecs to wait for the message to complete before timing out (if 0 the wait is forever)

CONTEXT

       !in_interrupt ()

DESCRIPTION

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

       Don't use this function from within an interrupt context, like a bottom half handler. 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.

       Because there is no usb_interrupt_msg and no USBDEVFS_INTERRUPT ioctl, users are forced to abuse this routine by using it to submit URBs
       for interrupt endpoints. We will take the liberty of creating an interrupt URB (with the default interval) if the target is an interrupt
       endpoint.

RETURN

       If successful, 0. Otherwise a negative error number. The number of actual bytes transferred will be stored in the actual_length paramater.
