Open a dive computer device for processing. Accepts a
context opened with
dc_context_new(3), a
dive computer
descriptor usually found by
searching through
dc_descriptor_iterator(3),
and a
iostream opened with a transport
specific open function like
dc_usbhid_open(3),
dc_irda_open(3),
dc_serial_open(3),
or
dc_bluetooth_open(3).
Upon returning
DC_STATUS_SUCCESS, the
device pointer must be freed with
dc_device_close(3).
Returns
DC_STATUS_SUCCESS on success or one
of several error values on error. On success, the
device pointer is filled in with an open
handle.
