usb_string — returns UTF-8 version of a string descriptor
int usb_string ( | struct usb_device * dev, |
int index, | |
char * buf, | |
size_t size) ; |
dev
the device whose string descriptor is being retrieved
index
the number of the descriptor
buf
where to put the string
size
how big is “buf”?
This converts the UTF-16LE encoded strings returned by devices, from
usb_get_string_descriptor
, to null-terminated UTF-8 encoded ones
that are more usable in most kernel contexts. Note that this function
chooses strings in the first language supported by the device.
This call is synchronous, and may not be used in an interrupt context.
