Method

FwupdPluginDeviceget_backend_parent

since: 2.0.0

Declaration [src]

FuDevice*
fu_device_get_backend_parent (
  FuDevice* self
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Creates a device parent (of the correct type) using the current backend.

NOTE: The backend must implement FuBackendClass->get_device_parent for this method to work — for cases where the plugin has created both parent and child, and used fu_device_add_child(), using fu_device_get_parent() is probably more appropriate.

Available since: 2.0.0

Return value

Type: FuDevice

A FuDevice or NULL if not found or unimplemented.

The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
