NOTE: This book contains many examples of C programs to help design device drivers. Because
of page width restrictions, some long lines of code exceed the space available and break in
unintended places. Treat these broken lines as one line. We recommend that you use the sample
files included with this manual when possible, rather than retyping the examples.
