DEV_OPEN(9)						      Network device support						       DEV_OPEN(9)

NAME

       dev_open - prepare an interface for use.

SYNOPSIS

       int dev_open(struct net_device * dev);

ARGUMENTS

       dev
	   device to open

DESCRIPTION

       Takes a device from down to up state. The device's private open function is invoked and then the multicast lists are loaded. Finally the
       device is moved into the up state and a NETDEV_UP message is sent to the netdev notifier chain.

       Calling this function on an active interface is a nop. On a failure a negative errno code is returned.

NAME

       struct_input_polled_dev - simple polled input device

SYNOPSIS

       struct input_polled_dev {
	 void * private;
	 void (* open) (struct input_polled_dev *dev);
	 void (* close) (struct input_polled_dev *dev);
	 void (* poll) (struct input_polled_dev *dev);
	 unsigned int poll_interval;
	 unsigned int poll_interval_max;
	 unsigned int poll_interval_min;
	 struct input_dev * input;
       };

MEMBERS

       private
	   private driver data.

       open
	   driver-supplied method that prepares device for polling (enabled the device and maybe flushes device state).

       close
	   driver-supplied method that is called when device is no longer being polled. Used to put device into low power mode.

       poll
	   driver-supplied method that polls the device and posts input events (mandatory).

       poll_interval
	   specifies how often the poll method should be called. Defaults to 500 msec unless overridden when registering the device.

       poll_interval_max
	   specifies upper bound for the poll interval. Defaults to the initial value of poll_interval.

       poll_interval_min
	   specifies lower bound for the poll interval. Defaults to 0.

       input
	   input device structure associated with the polled device. Must be properly initialized by the driver (id, name, phys, bits).

DESCRIPTION

       Polled input device provides a skeleton for supporting simple input devices that do not raise interrupts but have to be periodically
       scanned or polled to detect changes in their state.
