the endpoint to be used with with the request
.TP
\fB\fIgfp_flags\fB\fR

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Request objects must be allocated with this call, since they normally
need controller-specific setup and may even need endpoint-specific
resources such as allocation of DMA descriptors.
Requests may be submitted with \fBusb_ep_queue\fR, and receive a single
completion callback.  Free requests with \fBusb_ep_free_request\fR, when
they are no longer needed.
.PP
Returns the request, or null if one could not be allocated.
.SH "ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT"
