DEV_OPS(9S) Data Structures for Drivers DEV_OPS(9S)

NAME

dev_ops - device operations structure

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/conf.h>
#include <sys/devops.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL

illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).

DESCRIPTION

dev_ops contains driver common fields and pointers to the bus_ops and
cb_ops(9S).


Following are the device functions provided in the device operations
structure. All fields must be set at compile time.

devo_rev
Driver build version. Set this to DEVO_REV.


devo_refcnt
Driver reference count. Set this to 0.


devo_getinfo
Get device driver information (see getinfo(9E)).


devo_identify
This entry point is obsolete. Set to nulldev.


devo_probe
Probe device. See probe(9E).


devo_attach
Attach driver to dev_info. See attach(9E).


devo_detach
Detach/prepare driver to unload. See detach(9E).


devo_reset
Reset device. (Not supported in this release.) Set
this to nodev.


devo_cb_ops
Pointer to cb_ops(9S) structure for leaf drivers.


devo_bus_ops
Pointer to bus operations structure for nexus
drivers. Set this to NULL if this is for a leaf
driver.


devo_power
Power a device attached to system. See power(9E).


devo_quiesce
Quiesce a device attached to system (see quiesce(9E)
for more information). This can be set to
ddi_quiesce_not_needed() if the driver does not need
to implement quiesce.
