mod_firmware_load(9)
NAME
mod_firmware_load - load sound driver firmware
SYNOPSIS
int mod_firmware_load (const char *fn, char **fp);
ARGUMENTS
fn filename
fp return for the buffer.
DESCRIPTION
Load the firmware for a sound module (up to 128K) into a
buffer. The buffer is returned in *fp. It is allocated
with vmalloc so is virtually linear and not DMAable. The
caller should free it with vfree when finished.
The length of the buffer is returned on a successful load,
the value zero on a failure.
CAUTION
- This API is not recommended. Firmware should be loaded
- via an ioctl call and a setup application. This function
may disappear in future.
