r"""Retrieve the list of supported Language IDs from the device.
Most client code should not call this function directly, but instead use
the langids property on the Device object, which will call this function as
needed and cache the result.
USB LANGIDs are 16-bit integers familiar to Windows developers, where
for example instead of en-US you say 0x0409. See the file USB_LANGIDS.pdf
somewhere on the cyPyUSB.org site for a list, which does not claim to be
complete. It requires "system software must allow the enumeration and
selection of LANGIDs that are not currently on this list." It also requires
"system software should never request a LANGID not defined in the LANGID
code array (string index = 0) presented by a device." Client code can
check this tuple before issuing string requests for a specific language ID.
dev is the Device object whose supported language IDs will be retrieved.
The return value is a tuple of integer LANGIDs, possibly empty if the
device does not support strings at all (which USB 3.1 r1.0 section
9.6.9 allows). In that case client code should not request strings at all.
A USBError may be raised from this function for some devices that have no
string support, instead of returning an empty tuple. The accessor for the
langids property on Device catches that case and supplies an empty tuple,
so client code can ignore this detail by using the langids property instead
of directly calling this function.
