# IOUSBGetEndpointMaxStreamsEncoded(_:_:_:)

Obtains the number of streams that an endpoint supports.

## Declaration

```swift
func IOUSBGetEndpointMaxStreamsEncoded(_ usbDeviceSpeed: UInt32, _ descriptor: UnsafePointer<IOUSBEndpointDescriptor>!, _ companionDescriptor: UnsafePointer<IOUSBSuperSpeedEndpointCompanionDescriptor>!) -> UInt32
```

## Parameters

- `usbDeviceSpeed`: The operational speed of the device.
- `descriptor`: The endpoint descriptor to parse.
- `companionDescriptor`: The companion descriptor to parse.

## Return Value

Return Value The encoded number of streams.

## Discussion

Discussion This method parses endpoint descriptors and returns the number of supported streams as n in (2^n).
