# UserInitializeTargetForID

Initializes a target device in response to a call from the framework.

```
virtual kern_return_t UserInitializeTargetForID(SCSITargetIdentifier targetID);
```

## Parameters

`targetID`

The target to initialize.

## Return Value

A value that indicates the result of initialization. <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/DriverKit/kIOReturnSuccess> indicates success. For error definitions, see <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/iokit/iokit_constants>.

## Discussion

The host bus adapter (HBA) can use this method to probe the target or do anything else necessary before IOKit registers the device object for matching.
