Use
This entry point is called as a stream is being opened onto the device driver by DeviceFS.
Notes
The stream handle passed in must be stored, as you need to quote it when calling DeviceFS SWIs such as DeviceFS_Threshold, DeviceFS_ReceivedCharacter and DeviceFS_TransmitCharacter.
The stream handle returned will be passed by DeviceFS when calling the device driver’s other entry routines. It must not be zero, which is a reserved value.
The device driver is also passed a pointer to the special field string.
You can be assumed that the special field block will remain intact until the stream has been closed.
