SYNOPSIS

9       struct i2c_client {
10         unsigned short flags;
11         unsigned short addr;
12         char name[I2C_NAME_SIZE];
13         struct i2c_adapter * adapter;
14         struct i2c_driver * driver;
15         struct device dev;
16         int irq;
17         struct list_head detected;
18       };

MEMBERS

21       flags
22           I2C_CLIENT_TEN indicates the device uses a ten bit chip address;
23           I2C_CLIENT_PEC indicates it uses SMBus Packet Error Checking
24
25       addr
26           Address used on the I2C bus connected to the parent adapter.
27
28       name[I2C_NAME_SIZE]
29           Indicates the type of the device, usually a chip name that´s
30           generic enough to hide second-sourcing and compatible revisions.
31
32       adapter
33           manages the bus segment hosting this I2C device
34
35       driver
36           device´s driver, hence pointer to access routines
37
38       dev
39           Driver model device node for the slave.
40
41       irq
42           indicates the IRQ generated by this device (if any)
43
44       detected
45           member of an i2c_driver.clients list or i2c-core´s
46           userspace_devices list

DESCRIPTION

49       An i2c_client identifies a single device (i.e. chip) connected to an
50       i2c bus. The behaviour exposed to Linux is defined by the driver
51       managing the device.
