NAME

6       usb_get_intf - increments the reference count of the usb interface
7       structure
8

SYNOPSIS

10       struct usb_interface * usb_get_intf(struct usb_interface * intf);
11

ARGUMENTS

13       intf
14           the interface being referenced
15

DESCRIPTION

17       Each live reference to a interface must be refcounted.
18
19       Drivers for USB interfaces should normally record such references in
20       their probe methods, when they bind to an interface, and release them
21       by calling usb_put_intf, in their disconnect methods.
22

RETURN

24       A pointer to the interface with the incremented reference counter.
