.Dt SYSCALL_MODULE 9
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm SYSCALL_MODULE
|
|
.Nd syscall kernel module declaration macro
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/param.h
|
|
.In sys/kernel.h
|
|
.In sys/proc.h
|
|
.In sys/module.h
|
|
.In sys/sysent.h
|
|
.Fn SYSCALL_MODULE name "int *offset" "struct sysent *new_sysent" "modeventhand_t evh" "void *arg"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn SYSCALL_MODULE
|
|
macro declares a new syscall.
|
|
.Fn SYSCALL_MODULE
|
|
expands into a kernel module declaration with name
|
|
.Ql sys/ Ns Fa name .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The rest of the arguments expected by this macro are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fa new_sysent"
|
|
.It Fa offset
|
|
A pointer to an
|
|
.Vt int
|
|
which saves the offset in
|
|
.Vt "struct sysent"
|
|
where the syscall is allocated.
|
|
If the location pointed to by
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
holds a non 0 number it will be used if possible.
|
|
If it holds 0 then one will be assigned.
|
|
.It Fa new_sysent
|
|
is a pointer to a structure that specifies the function implementing
|
|
the syscall and the number of arguments this function needs (see
|
|
.In sys/sysent.h ) .
|
|
.It Fa evh
|
|
A pointer to the kernel module event handler function with the argument
|
|
.Fa arg .
|
|
Please refer to
|
|
.Xr module 9
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.It Fa arg
|
|
The argument passed to the callback functions of the
|
|
.Fa evh
|
|
event handler when it is called.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The syscall number assigned to the module can be retrieved using the
|
|
.Xr modstat 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr modfind 3
|
|
library functions in libc.
|
|
The MACRO
|
|
.Fn SYSCALL_MODULE_HELPER
|
|
includes
|
|
.Fn SYSCALL_MODULE
|
|
and much of its boilerplate code.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
A minimal example for a syscall module can be found in
|
|
.Pa /usr/share/examples/kld/syscall/module/syscall.c .
