IOCTL_WRITE_REGISTERS IOCTL (usbscan.h)

  • Article

Writes to USB device registers, using the control pipe.

Major code

IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL

Input buffer

Pointer to an IO_BLOCK structure.

Input buffer length

Size of the input buffer.

Output buffer

NULL

Output buffer length

Zero

Status block

Irp->IoStatus.Status is set to STATUS_SUCCESS if the request is successful. Otherwise, Status to the appropriate error condition as a NTSTATUS code.

Remarks

DeviceIoControl Parameters

When the DeviceloControl function is called with the IOCTL_WRITE_REGISTERS I/O control code, the caller must specify the address of an IO_BLOCK structure as the function's lpInBuffer parameter.

Using the IO_BLOCK contents, the kernel-mode driver creates a URB that contains a _URB_CONTROL_VENDOR_OR_CLASS_REQUEST structure.

The following table indicates the values assigned to _URB_CONTROL_VENDOR_OR_CLASS_REQUEST structure members.

Structure member Value sssigned
TransferFlags 0
TransferBufferLength pIoBlock->uLength
TransferBuffer pIoBlock->pbyData
TransferBufferMDL NULL
RequestTypeReservedBits 0x40
Request (pIoBlock->uLength > 1) ? 0x04 : 0x0C
Value (SHORT)pIoBlock->uOffset
Index pIoBlock->uIndex
