5<h3>SYNOPSIS</h3>
6<pre>
7<strong>kern_return_t device_read_async</strong>
8 <strong>(mach_port_t</strong> <var>device</var>,
9 <strong>mach_port_t</strong> <var>queue</var>,
10 <strong>mach_port_t</strong> <var>request_id</var>,
11 <strong>dev_mode_t</strong> <var>mode</var>,
12 <strong>recnum_t</strong> <var>recnum</var>,
13 <strong>io_buf_len_t</strong> <var>bytes_wanted</var><strong>);</strong>
14</pre>
15<h3>PARAMETERS</h3>
16<dl>
17<p>
18<dt> <var>device</var>
19<dd>
20[in device send right] A device port to the device to be read.
21<p>
22<dt> <var>queue</var>
23<dd>
24[in io_done queue send right] The port returned from
25io_done_queue_create.
26<p>
27<dt> <var>request_id</var>
28<dd>
29[in send right] An unique request identifier that will be passed back as
30part of the io_done_result structure.
31<p>
32<dt> <var>mode</var>

50<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
51<p>
52The <strong>device_read_async</strong> interface enqueues a read operation for a

54as the specific operation performed is device dependent.
55<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
56<dl>
57<strong>device_read_async</strong> returns only invalid parameter errors.
58<dd>
