                                             GPContext *context);

Get camera's current time.

The camera gives time in little endian format, therefore we need to swap the 4 bytes on big-endian machines.

Note: the time returned from the camera is not UTC but local time. This means you should only use functions that don't adjust the timezone, like gmtime(), instead of functions that do, like localtime() since otherwise you will end up with the wrong time.

We pass it along to calling functions in local time instead of UTC since it is more correct to say 'Camera time: 2002-01-01 00:00:00' if that is what the display says and not to display the cameras time converted to local timezone (which will of course be wrong if you are not in the timezone the cameras clock was set in).

`camera` :	camera to get the current time of
`camera_time` :	pointer to where you want the camera time (NOT IN UTC!!!)
`context` :
Returns :	gphoto2 error code

Gets the camera identification string, usually the owner name.

This information is then stored in the "camera" structure, which is a global variable for the driver.

This function also gets the firmware revision in the camera struct.

`camera` :	the camera to work with
`context` :
Returns :	gphoto2 error code

canon_int_put_file ()

`camera` :	the camera to set the owner name of
`name` :	owner name to set the camera to
`context` :
Returns :

canon_int_set_time ()

                                             GPContext *context);

Set camera's current time.

`camera` :	camera to get the current time of
`date` :	the date to set (in UTC)
`context` :

USB version of the canon_serial_dialogue function.

We construct a packet with the known command values (cmd{1,2,3}) of the function requested (canon_funct) to the camera. If return_length exists for this function, we read return_length bytes back from the camera and return this camera response to the caller.

Example :

This function gets called with canon_funct = CANON_USB_FUNCTION_SET_TIME payload = already constructed payload with the new time we construct a complete command packet and send this to the camera. The canon_usb_cmdstruct indicates that command CANON_USB_FUNCTION_SET_TIME returns four bytes, so we read those four bytes into our buffer and return a pointer to the buffer to the caller.

This should probably be changed so that the caller supplies a unsigned char ** which can be pointed to our buffer and an int returned with GP_OK or some error code.

`camera` :	the Camera to work with
`canon_funct` :	integer constant that identifies function we are execute
`return_length` :	number of bytes to read from the camera as response
`payload` :	data we are to send to the camera
`payload_length` :	length of payload
Returns :	a char * that points to the data read from the camera (or NULL on failure), and sets what `return_length` points to to the number of bytes read.

This function is used to invoke camera commands which return L (long) data. It calls #canon_usb_dialogue(), if it gets a good response it will malloc() memory and read the entire returned data into this malloc'd memory and store a pointer to the malloc'd memory in 'data'.

`camera` :	the Camera to work with
`canon_funct` :	integer constant that identifies function we are execute
`data` :	Pointer to pointer to allocated memory holding the data returned from the camera
`data_length` :	Pointer to where you want the number of bytes read from the camera
`max_data_size` :	Max realistic data size so that we can abort if something goes wrong
`payload` :	data we are to send to the camera
`payload_length` :	length of payload
`display_status` :	Whether you want progress bar for this operation or not
`context` :
Returns :
