.Dt DRIVER_MODULE 9
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm DRIVER_MODULE
|
|
.Nd kernel driver declaration macro
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/bus.h>
|
|
.Fn DRIVER_MODULE "name" "busname" "driver_t driver" "devclass_t devclass" "int (*evh) (struct module *, int, void *)" "void *arg"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn DRIVER_MODULE
|
|
macro declares a kernel driver.
|
|
.Fn DRIVER_MODULE
|
|
expands to the real driver declaration, where the phrase
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
is used as the naming prefix for the driver and its functions.
|
|
Note that it supplied as plain text, and not a
|
|
.Li char
|
|
or
|
|
.Li char * .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fa busname
|
|
is the parent bus of the driver (PCI, ISA, PPBUS and others), e.g.
|
|
.Ql pci ,
|
|
.Ql isa ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql ppbus .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The identifier used in
|
|
.Fn DRIVER_MODULE
|
|
can be different from the driver name.
|
|
Also, the same driver identifier can exist on different busses,
|
|
which is a pretty clean way of making front ends for different cards
|
|
using the same driver on the same or different busses.
|
|
For example, the following is allowed:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn DRIVERMODULE "foo" "isa" "foo_driver" "foo_devclass" "0" "0" ;
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn DRIVERMODULE "foo" "pci" "foo_driver" "foo_devclass" "0" "0" ;
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fa driver
|
|
is the driver of type
|
|
.Li driver_t ,
|
|
which contains the information about the driver and is therefore one of the
|
|
two most important parts of the call to
|
|
.Fn DRIVER_MODULE .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa devclass
|
|
argument contains the kernel-internal information about the device,
|
|
which will be used wthin the kernel driver module.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa evh
|
|
argument is the event handler which is called when the driver (or module)
|
|
is loaded or unloaded.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
is unused at this time and should be a
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointer.
