Description:

This function registers a handler with the PiPS framework to ensure that the handler (callback) is invoked in response to the specified event type for the specified provider. Any number of callbacks can be registered to handle a particular event type. However, the same callback cannot be registered multiple times in a single thread for the same provider and user data combination.

Returns:

EOK: The handler was successfully registered

-1: An error occurred while registering the handler (errno is set)

Errors:

ENODEV: The provider handle is invalid.
ENOTTY: The given event type is not supported.
EALREADY: The handler has already been registered with the provider.
