## Name

usb_register_driver — register a USB interface driver

## Synopsis

`int usb_register_driver (` | struct usb_driver * new_driver,
| struct module * owner,
| const char * mod_name`)`;

## Arguments

`new_driver`

  USB operations for the interface driver

`owner`

  module owner of this driver.

`mod_name`

  module name string

## Description

Registers a USB interface driver with the USB core. The list of unattached interfaces will be rescanned whenever a new driver is added, allowing the new driver to attach to any recognized interfaces.

## Return

A negative error code on failure and 0 on success.

## NOTE

if you want your driver to use the USB major number, you must call `usb_register_dev` to enable that functionality. This function no longer takes care of that.
