Examples of bases when the bus number doesn't matter: I2C adapters dynamically added by USB links or PCI plugin cards. </p><p> When this returns zero, a new bus number was allocated and stored in adap->nr, and the specified adapter became available for clients. Otherwise, a negative errno value is returned. </p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="API-i2c-verify-adapter.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="i2c.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="API-i2c-add-numbered-adapter.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top"><span class="phrase">i2c_verify_adapter</span> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> <span class="phrase">i2c_add_numbered_adapter</span></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
