NAME

       rtapi_firmware.h - RTAPI wrappers for linux kernel functionality

SYNTAX

       #include <rtapi_firmware.h>

       struct rtapi_firmware;

       int rtapi_request_firmware(const struct rtapi_firmware **fw,
                  const char *name, struct rtapi_device *device);

       void rtapi_release_firmware(const struct rtapi_firmware *fw);

DESCRIPTION

       In kernel space, each rtapi_xxx or RTAPI_XXX identifier is mapped to the underlying kernel functionality,
       if available.

       In  userspace,  or  in  kernels where the underlying functionality is not provided by a kernel, generally
       another implementation--possibly with reduced functionality--is provided.  (For  example,  the  userspace
       implementation for rtapi_device_register always succeeds)

REALTIME CONSIDERATIONS

       Typically, these functions may be called from realtime init/cleanup code.

RETURN VALUE

       As in Linux.
