About the Sample |
---------------- |
The sample uses the I/O Kit APIs to register for asynchronous notifications (callbacks) when a device with a given vendor and product ID has been plugged in. The notification structure has a refcon field where the sample stores a pointer to a block of memory where information about that device can be kept. |
|
When a device arrives, another callback is registered that will be called when the device is removed. |
|
