IOPCMCIATuple

Inherits From:	IOPCMCIATuple : Object

Declared In:	driverkit/i386/IOPCMCIATuple.h

Class Description

IOPCMCIATuple objects encapsulate configuration information about IODirectDevices that run on PCMCIA-compliant computers. Data from a ªtupleº is from information stored on the PCMCIA card; each tuple stores a separate piece of information. IOPCMCIADeviceDescription objects typically contain a list of IOPCMCIATuple objects, containing such configuration data as electrical requirements, I/O port ranges, and timing information.

Usually, you need only to pass around IOPCMCIATuple objects, without creating them, subclassing them, or sending messages to them. IOPCMCIATuples are created by the system.
