device type or

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Iterates through the list of known onboard devices\&. If a device is found with a matching
\fItype\fR
and
\fIname\fR, a pointer to its device structure is returned\&. Otherwise,
\fBNULL\fR
is returned\&. A new search is initiated by passing
\fBNULL\fR
as the
\fIfrom\fR
argument\&. If
\fIfrom\fR
is not
\fBNULL\fR, searches continue from next device\&.
