+.
+.Sh USB TRANSFER MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
+The USB standard defines four types of USB transfers.
+.
+Control transfers, Bulk transfers, Interrupt transfers and Isochronous
+transfers.
+.
+All the transfer types are managed using the following five functions:
+.
+.Pp
+.
+.Fn usb2_transfer_setup
+This function will allocate memory for and initialise an array of USB
+transfers and all required DMA memory.
+.
+This function can sleep or block waiting for resources to become
+available.
+.Fa udev
+is a pointer to "struct usb2_device".
+.Fa ifaces
+is an array of interface index numbers to use. See "if_index".
+.Fa pxfer
+is a pointer to an array of USB transfer pointers that are initialized
+to NULL, and then pointed to allocated USB transfers.
+.Fa setup_start
+is a pointer to an array of USB config structures.
+.Fa n_setup
+is a number telling the USB system how many USB transfers should be
+setup.
+.Fa priv_sc
+is the private softc pointer, which will be used to initialize
+"xfer->priv_sc".
+.Fa priv_mtx
+is the private mutex protecting the transfer structure and the
+softc. This pointer is used to initialize "xfer->priv_mtx".
+This function returns
+zero upon success. A non-zero return value indicates failure.
+.
+.Pp
+.
+.Fn usb2_transfer_unsetup
+This function will release the given USB transfers and all allocated
+resources associated with these USB transfers. 
+.Fa pxfer
+is a pointer to an array of USB transfer pointers, that may be NULL,
+that should be freed by the USB system.
+.Fa n_setup
+is a number telling the USB system how many USB transfers should be
+unsetup.
+.
+This function can sleep waiting for USB transfers to complete.
+.
+This function is NULL safe with regard to the USB transfer structure
+pointer.
+.
+It is not allowed to call this function from the USB transfer
+callback.
+.
+.Pp
+.
+.Fn usb2_transfer_start
+This function will start the USB transfer pointed to by
+.Fa xfer,
+if not already started.
+.
+This function is always non-blocking and must be called with the
+so-called private USB mutex locked.
+.
+This function is NULL safe with regard to the USB transfer structure
+pointer.
+.
+.Pp
+.
+.Fn usb2_transfer_stop
+This function will stop the USB transfer pointed to by
+.Fa xfer,
+if not already stopped.
+.
+This function is always non-blocking and must be called with the
+so-called private USB mutex locked.
+.
+This function can return before the USB callback has been called.
+.
+This function is NULL safe with regard to the USB transfer structure
+pointer.
+.
+If the transfer was in progress, the callback will called with
+"USB_ST_ERROR" and "xfer->error = USB_ERR_CANCELLED".
+.
+.Pp
+.
+.Fn usb2_transfer_drain
+This function will stop an USB transfer, if not already stopped and
+wait for any additional USB hardware operations to complete.
+.
+Buffers that are loaded into DMA using "usb2_set_frame_data()" can
+safely be freed after that this function has returned.
+.
+This function can block the caller and will not return before the USB
+callback has been called.
+.
+This function is NULL safe with regard to the USB transfer structure
+pointer.
+.
+.Sh USB TRANSFER CALLBACK
+.
+The USB callback has three states.
+.
+USB_ST_SETUP, USB_ST_TRANSFERRED and USB_ST_ERROR. USB_ST_SETUP is the
+initial state.
+.
+After the callback has been called with this state it will always be
+called back at a later stage in one of the other two states.
+.
+In the USB_ST_ERROR state the "error" field of the USB transfer
+structure is set to the error cause.
+.
+The USB callback should not restart the USB transfer in case the error
+cause is USB_ERR_CANCELLED.
+.
+The USB callback is protected from recursion.
+.
+That means one can start and stop whatever transfer from the callback
+of another transfer one desires.
+.
+Also the transfer that is currently called back.
+.
+Recursion is handled like this that when the callback that wants to
+recurse returns it is called one more time.
+.
+.
+.Pp
+.
+.Fn usb2_start_hardware
+This function should only be called from within the USB callback and
+is used to start the USB hardware.
+.
+Typical parameters that should be set in the USB transfer structure
+before this function is called are "frlengths[]", "nframes" and
+"frbuffers[]".
+.
+An USB transfer can have multiple frames consisting of one or more USB
+packets making up an I/O vector for all USB transfer types.
+.
+After the USB transfer is complete "frlengths[]" is updated to the
+actual USB transfer length for the given frame.

+An USB control transfer has three parts.

+.
+The SETUP packet is always pointed to by "xfer->frbuffers[0]" and the
+length is stored in "xfer->frlengths[0]" also if there should not be
+sent any SETUP packet! If an USB control transfer has no DATA stage,
+then "xfer->nframes" should be set to 1.

+.It 1
+The failing USB transfer is stopped using "usb2_transfer_stop()".
+.It 2
+The failing USB transfer performs a successful transfer.
+.El
+The purpose of this flag is to avoid races when multiple transfers are
+queued for execution on an USB endpoint, and the first executing
+transfer fails leading to the need for clearing of stall for
+example.
+.
+In this case this flag is used to prevent the following USB transfers
+from being executed at the same time the clear-stall command is
+executed on the USB control endpoint.
+.
+This flag can be changed during operation.
+.Pp
+"BOF" is short for "Block On Failure"
+.Pp
+NOTE: This flag should be set on all BULK and INTERRUPT USB transfers
+which use an endpoint that can be shared between userland and kernel.
+.
+.
+.It proxy_buffer
+Setting this flag will cause that the total buffer size will be
+rounded up to the nearest atomic hardware transfer size.
+.
+The maximum data length of any USB transfer is always stored in the
+"xfer->max_data_length".
+.
+For control transfers the USB kernel will allocate additional space
+for the 8-bytes of SETUP header.
+.
+These 8-bytes are not counted by the "xfer->max_data_length"
+variable.
+.
+This flag can not be changed during operation.
+.
+.
+.It ext_buffer
+Setting this flag will cause that no data buffer will be
+allocated.
+.
+Instead the USB client must supply a data buffer.
+.
+This flag can not be changed during operation.
+.
+.
+.It manual_status
+Setting this flag prevents an USB STATUS stage to be appended to the
+end of the USB control transfer.
+.
+If no control data is transferred this flag must be cleared.
+.
+Else an error will be returned to the USB callback.
+.
+This flag is mostly useful for the USB device side.
+.
+This flag can be changed during operation.
+.
+.
+.It no_pipe_ok
+Setting this flag causes the USB_ERR_NO_PIPE error to be ignored. This
+flag can not be changed during operation.
+.
+.
+.It stall_pipe
+.Bl -tag
+.It Device Side Mode
+Setting this flag will cause STALL pids to be sent to the endpoint
+belonging to this transfer before the transfer is started.
+.
+The transfer is started at the moment the host issues a clear-stall
+command on the STALL'ed endpoint.
+.
+This flag can be changed during operation.
+.It Host Side Mode
+Setting this flag will cause a clear-stall control request to be
+executed on the endpoint before the USB transfer is started.

-is an opaque value that uniquely determines which
-device a device driver has been attached to (i.e., it equals
-the cookie value in the device that the driver attached to).
+If this flag is changed outside the USB callback function you have to
+use the "usb2_transfer_set_stall()" and "usb2_transfer_clear_stall()"
+functions! This flag is automatically cleared after that the stall or
+clear stall has been executed.
+.
+.El
 .Pp
+.Fa bufsize
+field sets the total buffer size in bytes.
+.
+If this field is zero, "wMaxPacketSize" will be used, multiplied by
+the "frames" field if the transfer type is ISOCHRONOUS.
+.
+This is useful for setting up interrupt pipes.
+.
+This field is mandatory.
+.Pp
+NOTE: For control transfers "bufsize" includes the length of the
+request structure.
