# usb\_register\_driver(9)

register a USB interface driver

## NAME

usb\_register\_driver - register a USB interface driver

## SYNOPSIS

**int usb\_register\_driver(struct usb\_driver \*** *new\_driver***, struct module \*** *owner***, const char \*** *mod\_name***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*new\_driver*

USB operations for the interface driver

*owner*

module owner of this driver.

*mod\_name*

module name string

## DESCRIPTION

Registers a USB interface driver with the USB core. The list of unattached interfaces will be rescanned whenever a new driver is added, allowing the new driver to attach to any recognized interfaces.

## RETURN

A negative error code on failure and 0 on success.

## NOTE

if you want your driver to use the USB major number, you must call **usb\_register\_dev** to enable that functionality. This function no longer takes care of that.
