## Name

rio_get_device — Begin or continue searching for a RIO device by vid/did

## Synopsis

`struct rio_dev * rio_get_device (` | u16 vid,
| u16 did,
| struct rio_dev * from`)`;

## Arguments

`vid`

  RIO vid to match or `RIO_ANY_ID` to match all vids

`did`

  RIO did to match or `RIO_ANY_ID` to match all dids

`from`

  Previous RIO device found in search, or `NULL` for new search

## Description

Iterates through the list of known RIO devices. If a RIO device is found with a matching `vid` and `did`, the reference count to the device is incrememted and a pointer to its device structure is returned. Otherwise, `NULL` is returned. A new search is initiated by passing `NULL` to the `from` argument. Otherwise, if `from` is not `NULL`, searches continue from next device on the global list. The reference count for `from` is always decremented if it is not `NULL`.
