<p>The function pointers described here are accessed using any of the IOUSBInterfaceInterface 
  structures. This includes the original IOUSBInterfaceInterface structure which 
  shipped with the original Mac OS X, as well as versions of the structure which 
  became available in later versions of Mac OS X. Functions which were <i><b>not</b></i> 
  available in the original API will be documented as such.</p>

<h3><a name="AbortPipe">AbortPipe</a></h3>
<b>Abstract:</b> Aborts any outstanding transactions on the pipe with status kIOReturnAborted. 
If there are outstanding asynchronous transaction on the pipe, the callbacks will 
happen. Note that this command will also clear both the halted bit and the data 
toggle bit on the endpoint in the controller. The data toggle may need to be resynchronized. 
See ClearPipeStall or ClearPipeStallBothEnds. 
<blockquote> 
  <pre><tt> <b>IOReturn</b>(*AbortPipe)(void *self, UInt8 pipeRef);</tt></pre>

<h3><a name="ClearPipeStall">ClearPipeStall</a></h3>
<b>Abstract:</b> This function clears the halted bit and the data toggle bit on 
the pipe's endpoint in the controller. It will also return any outstanding transactions 
on the pipe with status kIOUSBTransactionReturned. If there are outstanding asynchronous 
transaction on the pipe, the callbacks will happen. The data toggle may need to 
be resynchronized. The driver may handle this by sending a ClearFeature(ENDPOINT_HALT) 
to the default control pipe, specifying the device's endpoint for this pipe. See 
also ClearPipeStallBothEnds. 
<blockquote> 
  <pre><tt> <b>IOReturn</b>(*ClearPipeStall)(void *self, UInt8 pipeRef);</tt></pre>

<h3><a name="ClearPipeStallBothEnds">ClearPipeStall</a>BothEnds</h3>
<p><b>Note: This function is only available with IOUSBInterfaceInterface190 and 
  above.</b></p>
<b></b><b></b><b></b><b>Abstract:</b> This function is equivalent to ClearPipeStall 
except that it will also attempt to clear the halt and toggle bits on the device's 
endpoint for the pipe by sending a ClearFeature(ENDPOINT_HALT) to the default 
control pipe in the device, specifying the endpoint for the pipe represented by 
pipeRef. For most devices, this will resynchronize the data toggle between the 
two endpoints to ensure that there is no loss of data.

<b>Abstract:</b> Create a run loop source for delivery of all asynchronous notifications on this device.

<blockquote>
  <pre><tt> <b>IOReturn</b>(*CreateInterfaceAsyncEventSource)(void *self, CFRunLoopSourceRef *source);</tt></pre>
</blockquote>
<p>The Mac OS X kernel does not spawn a thread to callback to the client. Instead

<h3><b><a name="LowLatencyReadIsochPipeAsync" id="LowLatencyReadIsochPipeAsync"></a>LowLatencyReadIsochPipeAsync</b></h3>
<p><b>Note: This function is only available with IOUSBInterfaceInterface192 and 
  above.</b></p>
<b></b><b></b><b>Abstract:</b> Does an asynchronous read on a ISOCHRONOUS pipe 
and updates the frame list at primary interrupt time. 
<blockquote> 
  <pre><tt> IOReturn (*<strong>LowLatencyReadIsochPipeAsync</strong>)(void *self, UInt8 pipeRef, void *buf, 
           UInt64 frameStart, UInt32 numFrames, UInt32 updateFrequency, 
           IOUSBLowLatencyIsocFrame *frameList, IOAsyncCallback1 callback, void *refcon)</tt></pre>
</blockquote>
<p>The <code>LowLatencyReadIsochPipeAsync()</code> and <code>LowLatencyWriteIsochPipeAsync()</code> 
  calls are analogous to <code>ReadIsochPipeAsync()</code> and <code>WriteIsochPipeAsync().</code> 
  They differ in that the frame list data is updated at <em>primary interrupt 
  time</em>. This means that the client can inspect the <code>frStatus</code> 
  and <code>frActCount</code> fields as soon as the transaction has been completed, 
  without having to wait for the callback to happen (depending on the value of 
  <code>updateFrequency</code>). The callback will still happen when the all the 
  frames have been received. </p>
<p>The client can specify how often the USB stack should update the frame list 
  data by specifying the <code>updateFrequency</code>: this value can range from 
  0 - 8. If the value is between 1 and 8, the frame list will be updated every 
  <code>updateFrequency</code> milliseconds. If the value is 0, the frame list 
  will only be updated once all the frames in the transfer have been received. 
  For example, consider a transfer with <code>numFrames</code> equal to 64. If 
  the update frequency is 4, the frame list data will be updated every 4 milliseconds. 
  If the update frequency is 0, the frame list will only be updated at the end 
  of the transfer, after the 64 frames have been sent or received. The difference 
  between using an update frequency of 0 and using the non-low latency isoch calls 
  is that in the former case, the frame list will be updated at primary interrupt 
  time, while in the latter, it will be updated at secondary interrupt time. Regardless 
  of the value of <code>updateFrequency</code>, the frame list will <em>always</em> 
  be updated on the last frame of a transfer.</p>
<p>The rationale for adding this call is that because completion routines run 
  on the USB Workloop, they can be scheduled to run a number of milliseconds after 
  the USB transfer has finished. This latency is variable and depends on what 
  other higher priority threads are running on the system. This latency presents 
  a problem for applications, such as audio processing, that depend on receiving 
  data, processing it, and sending it back out, and need to do this as fast as 
  possible. Since applications that use isochronous data know when the data should 
  be available, they can look at the frame list at the expected time and note 
  the <code>frActCount</code> and <code>frStatus</code> (and <code>frTimeStamp</code> 
  if needed) and determine how many valid bytes are in their data buffer and whether 
  there was an error. They can then access their data buffer and process the actual 
  data.</p>
<p>In order to update the frame list at primary interrupt time and to allow the 
  client to see that update, the frame list buffer needs to be shared between 
  the kernel and the user space. The same thing applies to the data buffer. This 
  is a difference between the low latency isoch calls and the regular isoch calls. 
  The <code>LowLatencyCreateBuffer()</code> call is used to pre-allocate the buffers. 
  The client <em>must</em> use that call to allocate the data and the frame list 
  buffers. The client can pass a portion of the buffer that was previoulsy allocated. 
  The USB stack will range check the data and frame list buffers to make sure 
  they are within the ranges of the buffers previously allocated. This allows 
  the client, if it so desires, to allocate a large data buffer and pass portions 
  of it to the read or write calls. The same applies to the frame list buffers. 
  Of course, the client can also pre-allocate several data buffers and several 
  frame list buffers and use those for each transfer. Once the transfer completes, 
  the buffers can be reused in subsequent calls. When all transfers are finished, 
  the client needs to call <code>LowLatencyDestroyBuffer()</code> for each buffer 
  that was created with <code>LowLatencyCreateBuffer().</code> </p>
<p>The interface must be open for the pipe to exist. The <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><code>buf</code></font> 
  pointer and the <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><code>frameList</code></font> 
  pointer need to be pre-allocated using <code>LowLatencyCreateBuffer()</code>. 
  After using them, they should be freed using <code>LowLatencyDestroyBuffer().</code></p>

<h3><a name="SetPipePolicy">SetPipePolicy</a></h3>
<b>Abstract:</b> Change the size od the reserved bandwidth for an isochronous 
pipe. The pipe may be made smaller or larger, to the maxPacketSize specified in 
the endpoint descriptor. When an interface is first opened, all pipes are created 
with their descriptor supplied maxPacketSize. For isochronous pipes, if there 
is not enough bandwidth on the bus to allocate to the pipe, the pipe is created 
with a maxPacketSize of zero. Any attempts to transfer data on a pipe with zero 
bandwidth will result in a kIOReturnNoBandwidth error. The pipe must first be 
given some bandwidth using this call.

<b>Abstract:</b> Open up the IOUSBInterface for exclusive access.

<blockquote>
  <pre><tt> <b>IOReturn</b>(*USBInterfaceOpen)(void *self);</tt></pre>
</blockquote>
<p>Before the client can transfer data to and from the interface, it must have 
  succeeded in opening the interface. This establishes an exclusive link between 
  the clients task and the actual interface device. Opening the interface causes 
  pipes to be created on each endpoint contained in the interface. If the interface 
  contains isochronous endpoints, an attempt is made to allocate bandwidth on 
  the bus for each of those pipes. If there is not enough bandwidth available, 
  an isochronous pipe may be created with a bandwidth of zero. The software must 
  then call SetPipePolicy to change the size of that pipe before it can be used 
  for I/O.</p>

        will be aborted and returned.</td>
    <tr> 
      <td align = "center"><tt>completionTimeout</tt></td>
      <td>Specified a time value in milliseconds. Once the request is queued on 
        the bus, if the entire request is not completed in this amount of time, 
        the request will be aborted and returned.</td>
