To perform I/O on an isochronous endpoint 72.\" .Xr read 2 73.\" and 74.\" .Xr write 2 75.\" should be used. 76.\" Before any I/O operations can take place the transfer rate in 77.\" bytes/second has to be set. This is done with 78.\" .Xr ioctl 2 79.\" .Dv USB_SET_ISO_RATE . 80.\" Performing this call sets up a buffer corresponding to 81.\" about 1 second of data. 82.Pp 83The bulk transfer mode can be in or out depending on the 84endpoint. 85To perform I/O on a bulk endpoint 86.Xr read 2 87and 88.Xr write 2 89should be used. 90All I/O operations on a bulk endpoint are unbuffered. 91.Pp 92The interrupt transfer mode can only be in. 93To perform input from an interrupt endpoint 94.Xr read 2 95should be used. 96A moderate amount of buffering is done by the driver. 97.Pp 98All endpoints handle the following 99.Xr ioctl 2 100calls: 101.Pp 102.Bl -tag -width indent -compact 103.It Dv USB_SET_SHORT_XFER (int) 104Allow short read transfer. 105Normally a transfer from the device which is shorter than the request 106specified is reported as an error. 107.Pp 108.It Dv USB_SET_TIMEOUT (int) 109Set the timeout on the device operations, the time is specified 110in milliseconds. 111The value 0 is used to indicate that there is no timeout. 112.El 113.Pp 114The control endpoint (endpoint 0) handles the following 115.Xr ioctl 2 116calls: 117.Pp 118.Bl -tag -width indent -compact 119.It Dv USB_GET_CONFIG (int) 120Get the device configuration number. 121.Pp 122.It Dv USB_SET_CONFIG (int) 123Set the device into the given configuration number. 124This operation can only be performed when the control endpoint 125is the sole open endpoint. 126.Pp 127.It Dv USB_GET_ALTINTERFACE (struct usb_alt_interface) 128Get the alternative setting number for the interface with the given 129index. 130The 131.Fa uai_config_index 132is ignored in this call. 133.Bd -literal 134struct usb_alt_interface { 135 int uai_config_index;
