19.6.140 VendorLong (Long Vendor Resource Descriptor)
Syntax
VendorLong (DescriptorName) {VendorByteList}
Arguments
DescriptorName is an optional argument that specifies a name for an integer constant that will be
created in the current scope that contains the offset of this resource descriptor within the current
resource template buffer.
VendorByteList evaluates to a comma-separated list of 8-bit integer constants, where each byte is
added verbatim to the body of the VendorLong resource descriptor. A maximum of n bytes can be
specified. UUID and UUID specific descriptor subtype are part of the VendorByteList.
Description
The VendorLong macro evaluates to a buffer which contains a vendor-defined resource descriptor.
The format of the long form of the vendor-defined resource descriptor can be found in Vendor-
Defined Descriptor (page 348). The macro is designed to be used inside of a ResourceTemplate
(page 882).
This is similar to VendorShort (page 900), except that the number of allowed bytes in
VendorByteList is 65,533 (instead of 7).
19.6.141 VendorShort (Short Vendor Resource Descriptor)
Syntax
VendorShort (DescriptorName) {VendorByteList}
Arguments
DescriptorName is an optional argument that specifies a name for an integer constant that will be
created in the current scope that contains the offset of this resource descriptor within the current
resource template buffer.
Description
The VendorShort macro evaluates to a buffer which contains a vendor-defined resource descriptor.
The format of the short form of the vendor-defined resource descriptor can be found in “Vendor-
Defined Descriptor” (page 348). The macro is designed to be used inside of a ResourceTemplate
(page 882).
This is similar to VendorLong (page 900), except that the number of allowed bytes in
VendorByteList is 7 (instead of 65,533).
