SYNOPSIS

int usb_get_descriptor(struct usb_device * dev, unsigned char type, unsigned char index, void * buf, int size);

ARGUMENTS

dev

the device whose descriptor is being retrieved

type

the descriptor type (USB_DT_*)

index

the number of the descriptor

buf

where to put the descriptor

size

how big is lqbufrq?

CONTEXT

!in_interrupt ()

DESCRIPTION

Gets a USB descriptor. Convenience functions exist to simplify getting some types of descriptors. Use usb_get_string or usb_string for USB_DT_STRING. Device (USB_DT_DEVICE) and configuration descriptors (USB_DT_CONFIG) are part of the device structure. In addition to a number of USB-standard descriptors, some devices also use class-specific or vendor-specific descriptors.

This call is synchronous, and may not be used in an interrupt context.

Returns the number of bytes received on success, or else the status code returned by the underlying usb_control_msg call.
