108 Function Library
6.2 C/C++ Programming Library
The function prototypes and some common data types are decel-
erated in Pci_8168.H. These data types are used by the cPCI-
8168 library. The following table shows the data type names and
their range. It is suggested that these data types are used in your
application programs.
The functions of cPCI-8168’s software drivers use full-names to
represent the functions’ real meaning. The naming convention
rules are :
In ‘C’ programming Environment:
_{hardware_model}_{action_name}. e.g.
_8168_Initial
().
In order to recognize the difference between C library and VB
library, a capital “B” is put on the head of each function name e.g.
B_8168_Initial
().
