.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Each driver in the kernel is described by a
|
|
.Dv driver_t
|
|
structure. The structure contains the name of the device, a pointer
|
|
to a list of methods, an indication of the kind of device which the
|
|
driver implements and the size of the private data which the driver
|
|
needs to associate with a device instance. Each driver will implement
|
|
one or more sets of methods (called interfaces). The example driver
|
|
implements the standard "driver" interface and the fictitious "bogo"
|
|
interface.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When a driver is registered with the system (by the
|
|
.Dv DRIVER_MODULE
|
|
macro), it is added to the list of drivers contained in the devclass
|
|
of its parent bus type. For instance all PCI drivers would be
|
|
contained in the devclass named "pci" and all ISA drivers would be
|
|
in the devclass named "isa".
|
|
The reason the drivers are not held in the device object of the parent
|
|
bus is to handle multiple instances of a given type of bus.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv DRIVER_MODULE
|
|
macro will also create the devclass with the name of the driver and
|
|
can optionally call extra initialisation code in the driver by
|
|
specifying an extra module event handler and argument as the last two
|
|
arguments.
