<p>
<strong>System Trap</strong> - Read a sequence of bytes "inband" from a device object.
<h3>SYNOPSIS</h3>
<pre>
<strong>kern_return_t   device_read_async_inband</strong>
                <strong>(mach_port_t</strong>                             <var>device</var>,
                 <strong>mach_port_t</strong>                              <var>queue</var>,
                 <strong>mach_port_t</strong>                         <var>request_id</var>,
                 <strong>dev_mode_t</strong>                                <var>mode</var>,
                 <strong>recnum_t</strong>                                <var>recnum</var>,
                 <strong>io_buf_len_t</strong>                      <var>bytes_wanted</var><strong>);</strong>
</pre>
<h3>PARAMETERS</h3>
<dl>
<p>
<dt> <var>device</var>
<dd>
[in device send right] A device port to the device to be read.
<p>
<dt> <var>queue</var>
<dd>
[in io_done queue send right] The port returned from 
<strong>io_done_queue_create</strong>.
<p>
<dt> <var>request_id</var>
<dd>
[in send right] An unique request identifier that will be passed back as 
part of the io_done_result structure.
<p>
<dt> <var>mode</var>
<dd>
[in scalar] I/O mode value. Meaningful options are:
<p>
     <dl>
<dt> <strong>D_NOWAIT</strong>
<dd>
Do not wait if data is unavailable.
     </dl>
<p>
<dt> <var>recnum</var>
<dd>
[in scalar] Record number to be read.
<p>
<dt> <var>bytes_wanted</var>
<dd>
[in scalar] Size of data transfer.
</dl>
<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
<p>
The <strong>device_read_async_inband</strong> function enqueues a read operation for a
sequence of bytes from a device object. The meaning of <var>recnum</var> as
well as the specific operation performed is device dependent. This
call differs from <strong>device_read_async</strong> in that the returned bytes are
returned "inband" in the completion IPC message (in
<strong>io_done_result.qd_inline</strong>).
<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
<p>
<strong>device_read_async_inband</strong> returns only invalid parameter errors.
