Declaration [src]

FuFirmware*
fu_device_prepare_firmware (
  FuDevice* self,
  GInputStream* stream,
  FuProgress* progress,
  FwupdInstallFlags flags,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Prepares the firmware by calling an optional device-specific vfunc for the device, which can do things like decompressing or parsing of the firmware data.

For all firmware, this checks the size of the firmware if limits have been set using fu_device_set_firmware_size_min(), fu_device_set_firmware_size_max() or using a quirk entry.

Available since: 1.1.2

Parameters

stream

Type: GInputStream

A GInputStream.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

progress

Type: FuProgress

No description available.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

flags

Type: FwupdInstallFlags

Install flags, e.g. FWUPD_INSTALL_FLAG_FORCE.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.

If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.

The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: FuFirmware

A new GBytes, or NULL for error.

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