nutscan_add_device_to_device - Man Page

Concatenate two devices structure​.

Synopsis

        #include <nut-scan​.h>

        nutscan_device_t * nutscan_add_device_to_device(
                nutscan_device_t * first,
                nutscan_device_t * second);

Description

The nutscan_device_t contains the following variables:

nutscan_device_type_t   type;
char *          driver;
char *          alt_driver_names;
char *          port;
nutscan_options_t       opt;
struct nutscan_device * prev;
struct nutscan_device * next;

This is a double linked list of device​. Each device is described by its type, its driver name, its port and any number of optional data​.

The nutscan_add_device_to_device() concatenates first and second devices to a unique device​. No new device is created, the two linked lists are simply linked to each other​. So first and second devices are likely to be modified by this function​.

Return Value

The nutscan_add_device_to_device() functions returns a pointer to a device containing both passed devices​. Note that it’s not a new device, so it is either first or second which is returned​.

Notes

Technically, the function is currently defined in nutscan-device​.h file​.
