<concept id="GUID-30978E00-D244-44CD-8F4E-9676DF172A52" xml:lang="en"><title>Driver-side

Handling</title><shortdesc>This document describes how device drivers handle asynchronous

requests.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>Drivers generally implement the <xref href="GUID-9D910016-5611-30DD-A139-EE46705A4912.dita"><apiname>DoRequest()</apiname></xref> function

in the LDD to handle the received asynchronous messages. </p>

<p>The implementation reads the request type and other passed arguments, and

initiates handling of the request appropriately. </p>

<p>The return value of this function only indicates the status of the message

reception to the driver. It does not actually indicate the request completion

result. </p>
