.Nd manipulate bus-specific device instance variables
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/bus.h>
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn BUS_READ_IVAR "device_t dev" "device_t child" "int index" "uintptr_t *result"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn BUS_WRITE_IVAR "device_t dev" "device_t child" "int index" "uintptr_t value"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These two methods manage a bus specific set of instance variables of
|
|
a child device. The intention is that each different type of bus
|
|
defines a set of appropriate instance variables (such as ports and
|
|
irqs for ISA bus etc.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This information could be given to the child device as a struct but
|
|
that makes it hard for a bus to add or remove variables without
|
|
forcing an edit and recompile for all drivers which may not be
|
|
possible for vendor supplied binary drivers.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Zero is returned on success, otherwise an appropriate error is returned.
