DEV_MODULE(9) FreeBSD Kernel Developer's Manual DEV_MODULE(9) NAME DEV_MODULE - device driver module declaration macro SYNOPSIS #include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/kernel.h> #include <sys/module.h> #include <sys/conf.h> DEV_MODULE(name, modeventhand_t evh, void *arg); DESCRIPTION The DEV_MODULE() macro declares a device driver kernel module. It fills in a moduledata_t structure and then calls DECLARE_MODULE() with the correct args, where name is the name of the module and evh (with its argument arg) is the event handler for the module (refer to DECLARE_MODULE(9) for more information). The event handler is supposed to create the device with make_dev() on load and to destroy it when it is unloaded using destroy_dev(). EXAMPLES #include <sys/module.h> #include <sys/conf.h> static struct cdevsw foo_devsw = { ... }; static struct cdev *sdev; static int foo_load(module_t mod, int cmd, void *arg) { int err = 0; switch (cmd) { case MOD_LOAD: sdev = make_dev(&foo_devsw, 0, UID_ROOT, GID_WHEEL, 0600, "foo"); break; /* Success*/ case MOD_UNLOAD: case MOD_SHUTDOWN: destroy_dev(sdev); break; /* Success*/ default: err = EINVAL; break; } return(err); } DEV_MODULE(foo, foo_load, NULL); SEE ALSO DECLARE_MODULE(9), destroy_dev(9), make_dev(9), module(9) AUTHORS This manual page was written by Alexander Langer <[email protected]>.
