NAME¶

rtapi_device.h - RTAPI wrappers for linux kernel functionality

SYNTAX¶

#include <rtapi_device.h>

struct rtapi_device;

int rtapi_dev_set_name(struct rtapi_device *dev, const char *name, ...);

int rtapi_device_register(struct rtapi_device *dev);

int rtapi_device_unregister(struct rtapi_device *dev);

DESCRIPTION¶

In kernel space, each rtapi_xxx or RTAPI_XXX identifier is mapped to the underlying kernel functionality, if available.

In userspace, or in kernels where the underlying functionality is not provided by a kernel, generally another implementation--possibly with reduced functionality--is provided. (For example, the userspace implementation for rtapi_device_register always succeeds)

REALTIME CONSIDERATIONS¶

Typically, these functions may be called from realtime init/cleanup code.

RETURN VALUE¶

As in Linux.
