PARPORT_CLAIM(9)	     Parallel Port Devices	      PARPORT_CLAIM(9)

NAME
       parport_claim - claim access to a parallel port device

SYNOPSIS
       int parport_claim(struct pardevice * dev);

ARGUMENTS
       dev
	   pointer to structure representing a device on the port

DESCRIPTION
       This function will not block and so can be used from interrupt context.
       If parport_claim succeeds in claiming access to the port it returns
       zero and the port is available to use. It may fail (returning non-zero)
       if the port is in use by another driver and that driver is not willing
       to relinquish control of the port.
