Only use this if you allocate the space for a struct urb on your own. If you call this function, be careful when freeing the memory for your urb that it is no longer in use by the USB core. .PP Only use this function if you _really_ understand what you are doing. .SH "ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT" .PP This documentation was generated with kernel version 2.6.0.
