>All functions, except <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>cyg_io_lookup()</TT
>
require an I/O “handle”.</P
><P
>All functions return a value of the type <SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>Cyg_ErrNo</SPAN
>. If an
error condition is detected, this value will be negative and the
absolute value indicates the actual error, as specified in
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>cyg/error/codes.h</TT
>. The only other legal return
value will be <TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>ENOERR</TT
>. All other function arguments
are pointers (references). This allows the drivers to pass information
efficiently, both into and out of the driver. The most striking
example of this is the “length” value passed to the read
and write functions. This parameter contains the desired length of
data on input to the function and the actual transferred length on
return.</P
