Method

FwupdPluginDeviceopen

since: 1.1.2

Declaration [src]

gboolean
fu_device_open (
  FuDevice* self
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Opens a device, optionally running a object-specific vfunc.

Plugins can call fu_device_open() multiple times without calling fu_device_close(), but only the first call will actually invoke the vfunc.

It is expected that plugins issue the same number of fu_device_open() and fu_device_close() methods when using a specific self.

If the ->probe(), ->open() and ->setup() actions all complete successfully the internal device flag FU_DEVICE_PRIVATE_FLAG_IS_OPEN will be set.

NOTE: It is important to still call fu_device_close() even if this function fails as the device may still be partially initialized.

Available since: 1.1.2

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE for success.
