NAME

       SPI_connect, SPI_connect_ext - connect a C function to the SPI manager

SYNOPSIS

       int SPI_connect(void)

       int SPI_connect_ext(int options)

DESCRIPTION

       SPI_connect opens a connection from a C function invocation to the SPI manager. You must call this
       function if you want to execute commands through SPI. Some utility SPI functions can be called from
       unconnected C functions.

       SPI_connect_ext does the same but has an argument that allows passing option flags. Currently, the
       following option values are available:

       SPI_OPT_NONATOMIC
           Sets the SPI connection to be nonatomic, which means that transaction control calls (SPI_commit,
           SPI_rollback) are allowed. Otherwise, calling those functions will result in an immediate error.

       SPI_connect() is equivalent to SPI_connect_ext(0).

RETURN VALUE

       SPI_OK_CONNECT
           on success

       SPI_ERROR_CONNECT
           on error
