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

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.
