);

DIRECTIVE STATUS CODES:

RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL - successfully initialized
RTEMS_INVALID_NUMBER - invalid major device number

DESCRIPTION:

This directive calls the device driver read routine specified in the Device Driver Table for this major number. Read operations typically require a buffer address as part of the argument parameter block. The contents of this buffer will be replaced with data from the device.

NOTES:

This directive may or may not cause the calling task to be preempted. This is dependent on the device driver being invoked.
