NAME
loadfirmware —
load a firmware file from the
filesystem
SYNOPSIS
#include
<sys/device.h>
int
loadfirmware(const
char *filename, u_char
**buf, size_t
*buflen);
DESCRIPTION
The
loadfirmware()
function loads a firmware from the file specified by
filename in the directory
/etc/firmware. Memory for the firmware is allocated
using malloc(9) with type M_DEVBUF as need be, within
a reasonable size limit.
If no longer needed, the firmware buffer buf can be freed using free(9) with type M_DEVBUF.
RETURN VALUES
If successful, buf is set to point to the
allocation and buflen is set to the size of the
firmware. Then loadfirmware() returns 0. Otherwise,
it returns an errno style error.
