comedi_open - open a Comedi device

#include <comedilib.h>

comedi_t * comedi_open(const char * filename);

Open a Comedi device specified by the file filename.

If successful, comedi_open returns a pointer to a valid comedi_t structure. This structure is opaque; the pointer should not be dereferenced by the application. NULL is returned on failure.
