rtapi_device(3rtapi)

rtapi_device3rtapi

Rtapi wrappers for linux kernel functionality

Usage

#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);

Overview

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.
