209.Sh DESCRIPTION
210.
211The
212.Nm
213library implements functions to be able to easily access and control
214USB through the USB file system interface.
215.
216.
217.Sh USB TRANSFER OPERATIONS
218.
219.Pp
220.
221.Fn libusb20_tr_close
222will release all kernel resources associated with an USB
223.Fa xfer .
224.
225This function returns zero upon success.
226.
227Non-zero return values indicate a LIBUSB20_ERROR value.
228.
229.Pp
230.
231.Fn libusb20_tr_open
232will allocate kernel buffer resources according to
233.Fa max_buf_size
234and
235.Fa max_frame_count
236associated with an USB
237.Fa pxfer
238and bind the transfer to the specified
239.Fa ep_no .
240.Fa max_buf_size
241is the minimum buffer size which the data transport layer has to support.
242If
243.Fa max_buf_size
244is zero, the
245.Nm
246library will use wMaxPacketSize to compute the buffer size.
247This can be useful for isochronous transfers.
248The actual buffer size can be greater than
249.Fa max_buf_size
250and is returned by
251.Fn libusb20_tr_get_max_total_length .
252.
253This function returns zero upon success.
254.
255Non-zero return values indicate a LIBUSB20_ERROR value.
256.
257.Pp
258.
259.Fn libusb20_tr_get_pointer
260will return a pointer to the allocated USB transfer according to the

275.Pp
276.
277.Fn libusb20_tr_get_actual_frames
278will return the actual number of USB frames after an USB
279transfer completed. A value of zero means that no data was transferred.

316.Pp
317.
318.Fn libusb20_tr_pending
319will return non-zero if the given USB transfer is
320pending for completion.

340been called.
341.
342.Pp
343.
344.Fn libusb20_tr_drain

351is used to set the
352.Fa buffer

357.
358.
359.Pp
360.
361.Fn libusb20_tr_set_callback
362is used to set the USB callback for asynchronous USB
363transfers.
364.
365The callback type is defined by libusb20_tr_callback_t.
366.
367.Pp
368.
369.Fn libusb20_tr_set_flags
370is used to set various USB flags for the given USB transfer.
371.Bl -tag
372.It LIBUSB20_TRANSFER_SINGLE_SHORT_NOT_OK

376.It LIBUSB20_TRANSFER_FORCE_SHORT
377All transmitted frames are short terminated.
378.It LIBUSB20_TRANSFER_DO_CLEAR_STALL
379Will do a clear-stall before starting the transfer.
380.El
381.
382.Pp
383.
384.Fn libusb20_tr_get_length
385returns the length of the given USB frame by index.
386After an USB transfer is complete the USB frame length will get updated to the actual transferred length.
387.
388.Pp

411.
412.Pp
413.
414.Fn libusb20_tr_set_total_frames
