STRUCT USB_OS_DESC_TABLE(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct usb_os_desc_table(9) β€” a whole vibe check on the Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, picture this: it's giving "one interface, but make it Windows-compatible". This is the little struct that describes the OS descriptors hanging off a single interface of a usb_function. Yes, that's the whole thing. Slay. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

struct usb_os_desc_table β€” it literally describes the OS descriptors that are associated with one interface of a usb_function. One interface, one table, no cap. 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct usb_os_desc_table {
    int if_id;
    struct usb_os_desc      *os_desc;
 };

look at her. two members. iconic. no notes. πŸ’–


πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

  • if_id β€” the interface id. that's it, that's the whole member, she's just the ID of the interface bb. πŸ”₯
  • os_desc β€” a pointer to the "Extended Compatibility ID" and the "Extended Properties" of the interface. the main character of the struct ngl. πŸ‘‘

⭐ Description ⭐

so here's the tea, and it's important so listen up: each interface can have at most one "Extended Compatibility ID" β€” one. singular. don't be greedy β€” and a number of "Extended Properties". a number of them, so like, go off, have several. 🌈
