usb_parse_data(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers usb_parse_data(9F)
NAME
usb_parse_data - Tokenize and align the bytes of raw variable-format data
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/usb/usba.h>
size_t usb_parse_data (char *format, uchar_t *data, size_t datalen, void *structure, size_t structlen);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)
PARAMETERS
format
Null terminated string describing the format of the data structure for general-purpose byte swapping. The letters "c," "s," "l," and
"L" represent 1, 2, 4 and 8 byte quantities, respectively. A descriptor that consists of a short and two bytes would be described by
"scc." A number preceding a letter serves as a multiplier of that letter. A format equivalent to "scc" is "s2c."
data
Raw descriptor data to parse.
datalen
Length, in bytes, of the raw descriptor data buffer.
structure
Destination data buffer where parsed data is returned.
structlen
Length, in bytes, of the destination data buffer. Parsed result length will not exceed this value.
DESCRIPTION
The usb_parse_data function parses data such as a variable-format class- or vendor-specific descriptor. The function also tokenizes and
aligns the bytes of raw descriptor data into fields of a variable-format descriptor.
While the USBA framework can parse the endpoint, interface, configuration, and string descriptors defined by the USB 2.0 specification, the
format of class- or vendor-specific descriptors cannot be explicitly defined by the specification and will be unique for each. The format
argument defines how to parse such a descriptor.
While the USB specification defines bit ordering as little-endian, this routine (like the entire API), converts the data to the endianness
of the host.
The structlen parameter defines the size of the destination data buffer. Data is truncated to this size if the destination data buffer is
too small.
RETURN VALUES
On success: Returns the size (in bytes) of the parsed data result.
On failure: Returns 0. (Same as USB_PARSE_ERROR).
CONTEXT
May be called from user, kernel or interrupt context.
EXAMPLES
/*
* Parse raw descriptor data in buf, putting result into ret_descr.
* ret_buf_len holds the size of ret_descr buf; routine returns
* number of resulting bytes.
*
* Descriptor being parsed has 2 chars, followed by one short,
* 3 chars and one more short.
