raw1394_new_handle
Name
raw1394_new_handle -- create new handle
Synopsis
raw1394handle_t raw1394_new_handle
( void);
Description
Creates and returns a new handle which can (after being set up) control one
port. It is not allowed to use the same handle in multiple threads or forked
processes. It is allowed to create and use multiple handles, however. Use
one handle per thread which needs it in the multithreaded case.
Returns
the created handle or NULL
when initialization fails. In the latter
case errno either contains some OS specific error code or 0
if the error is
that libraw1394 and raw1394 don't support each other's protocol versions.
