    gboolean
    osinfo_device_driver_get_pre_installable
                                   (OsinfoDeviceDriver *driver);

#### Parameters

driver | an OsinfoDeviceDriver instance |

#### Returns

TRUE if `driver` is pre-installable, FALSE otherwise.

### osinfo_device_driver_get_files ()

    GList *
    osinfo_device_driver_get_files (OsinfoDeviceDriver *driver);

[transfer container][element-type utf8]

### osinfo_device_driver_get_devices ()

    OsinfoDeviceList *
    osinfo_device_driver_get_devices (OsinfoDeviceDriver *driver);

#### Parameters

driver | an OsinfoDeviceDriver instance |

#### Returns

The list of devices supported by this driver.

[transfer none]

### osinfo_device_driver_get_signed ()

    gboolean
    osinfo_device_driver_get_signed (OsinfoDeviceDriver *driver);

Some OS vendors recommend or require device drivers to be signed by them before these device drivers could be installed on their OS.

#### Parameters

driver | an OsinfoDeviceDriver instance |

#### Returns

TRUE if `driver` is signed, FALSE otherwise.
