#include <libusb20.h>
libusb20_tr_open() will allocate kernel buffer resources according to max_buf_size and max_frame_count associated with an USB pxfer and bind the transfer to the specified ep_no. max_buf_size is the minimum buffer size which the data transport layer has to support. If max_buf_size is zero, the libusb20 library will use wMaxPacketSize to compute the buffer size. This can be useful for isochronous transfers. The actual buffer size can be greater than max_buf_size and is returned by libusb20_tr_get_max_total_length(). If max_frame_count is OR'ed with LIBUSB20_MAX_FRAME_PRE_SCALE the remaining part of the argument is converted from milliseconds into the actual number of frames rounded up, when this function returns. This flag is only valid for ISOCHRONOUS transfers and has no effect for other transfer types. The actual number of frames setup is found by calling libusb20_tr_get_max_frames(). This function returns zero upon success. Non-zero return values indicate a LIBUSB20_ERROR value.
libusb20_tr_open_stream() is identical to libusb20_tr_open() except that a stream ID can be specified for BULK endpoints having such a feature. libusb20_tr_open() can be used to open stream ID zero.
libusb20_tr_get_pointer() will return a pointer to the allocated USB transfer according to the pdev and tr_index arguments. This function returns NULL in case of failure.

libusb20_tr_get_actual_frames() will return the actual number of USB frames after an USB transfer completed. A value of zero means that no data was transferred.
libusb20_tr_get_actual_length() will return the sum of the actual length for all transferred USB frames for the given USB transfer.
libusb20_tr_get_max_frames() will return the maximum number of USB frames that were allocated when an USB transfer was setup for the given USB transfer.
libusb20_tr_get_max_packet_length() will return the maximum packet length in bytes associated with the given USB transfer. The packet length can be used round up buffer sizes so that short USB packets are avoided for proxy buffers.
libusb20_tr_get_max_total_length() will return the maximum value for the data length sum of all USB frames associated with an USB transfer. In case of control transfers the value returned does not include the length of the SETUP packet, 8 bytes, which is part of frame zero. The returned value of this function is always aligned to the maximum packet size, wMaxPacketSize, of the endpoint which the USB transfer is bound to.
libusb20_tr_get_status() will return the status of an USB transfer. Status values are defined by a set of LIBUSB20_TRANSFER_XXX enums.
