ep_system(3)

NAME

ep_system - return a pointer to Elan Kernel Comms private state.

SYNOPSIS

#include <elan3/epcomms.h>
     
EP_SYS *ep_system(
void);

DESCRIPTION

A kernel module intending to use Elan Kernel Comms must first obtain a pointer to an opaque EP_SYS object which should be passed in all relevant subsequent calls to Elan Kernel Comms. The EP_SYS object holds private state information required by Elan Kernel Comms. Typically ep_system() would be called once during the initialization of a module that uses Elan Kernel Comms.

RETURN VALUES

A valid EP_SYS pointer is always returned.
