NAME

       ldi_remove_event_handler - remove an NDI event service callback

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/ddi_obsolete.h>

       int ldi_remove_event_handler(ldi_handle_t lh,
	    ldi_callback_id_t id);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Obsolete

PARAMETERS

       ldi_handle_t lh	       Layered handle representing the device for which the event notification is requested.

       ldi_callback_id_t id    Unique system-wide registration ID returned by ldi_add_event_handler(9F) upon successful registration.

DESCRIPTION

       This  function is obsolete and is only maintained for compatibility. Use of this function is strongly discouraged. For equivalent function-
       ality provided by new interfaces, see ldi_ev_register_callbacks(9F) and ldi_ev_remove_callbacks(9F).

       The ldi_remove_event_handler() function removes the callback handler specified by the registration ID (ldi_callback_id_t). Upon	successful
       removal, the callback handler is removed from the system and is not invoked at the event occurance.

RETURN VALUES

       DDI_SUCCESS    Callback handler removed successfully.

       DDI_FAILURE    Failed to remove callback handler.

CONTEXT

       This function can be called from user and kernel contexts only.

NAME

       ddi_add_event_handler - add an NDI event service callback handler

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/dditypes.h>
       #include <sys/sunddi.h>

       int ddi_add_event_handler(dev_info_t *dip, ddi_eventcookie_t cookie,
	    void (*handler)(dev_info_t *, ddi_eventcookie_t, void *, void *),
	    void *arg, ddi_registration_id_t *id);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS

       dev_info_t *dip

	   Device node registering the callback.

       ddi_eventcookie_t cookie

	   Cookie returned from call to ddi_get_eventcookie(9F).

       void (*handler)(dev_info_t *, ddi_eventcookie_t, void *, void *)

	   Callback handler responsible for handling an NDI event service notification.

       void *arg

	   Pointer to opaque data supplied by the caller. Typically, this would be a pointer to the driver's softstate structure.

       ddi_registration_id_t *id

	   Pointer  to	registration  ID  where  a  unique  registration  id will be returned. Registration ID must be saved and used when calling
	   ddi_remove_event_handler(9F) to unregister a callback.

DESCRIPTION

       The ddi_add_event_handler() function adds a callback handler to be invoked in the face of the event specifed  by  cookie.  The  process	of
       adding a callback handler is also known as subscribing to an event. Upon successful subscription, the handler will be invoked by the system
       when the event occurs. The handler can be unregistered by using ddi_remove_event_handler(9F).

       An instance of a driver can register multiple handlers for an event or a single handler for multiple events. Callback order is not  defined
       and should assumed to be random.

       The routine handler will be invoked with the following arguments:

       dev_info_t *dip		   Device node requesting the notification.

       ddi_eventcookie_t cookie    Structure describing event that occurred.

       void *arg		   Opaque data pointer provided, by the driver, during callback registration.

       void *impl_data		   Pointer to event specific data defined by the framework which invokes the callback function.

RETURN VALUES

       DDI_SUCCESS    Callback handler registered successfully.

       DDI_FAILURE    Failed to register callback handler. Possible reasons include lack of resources or a bad cookie.

CONTEXT

       The ddi_add_event_handler() and handler() function can be called from user and kernel contexts only.

NOTES

       Drivers must remove all registered callback handlers for a device instance by calling ddi_remove_event_handler(9F) before detach completes.
