ObtainConfigBinding
-
try to get permission to bind drivers
SYNOPSIS
FUNCTION
ObtainConfigBinding gives permission to bind drivers to ConfigDev
structures.
It
exists so two drivers at once do not try and own the
same ConfigDev structure. This call will block until
it
is safe to pro-
ceed.
Individual drivers do not need to call this routine.
It
is intended for
BindDriver program, and others like it.
If
your drivers won't be load-
ed via the standard method, you may need to lock out others.
It
is crucially important that people lock out others before loading
new drivers. Much of the data that is used to configure things is
statically kept, and others need to be kept from using it.
This call is build directly on Exec
Signalsemaphore code
(e.g.
ObtainSemaphore).
