DEVICE_QUIET(9) 					   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual					   DEVICE_QUIET(9)

NAME
     device_quiet, device_verbose, device_is_quiet -- manipulate device quiet flag

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/bus.h>

     void
     device_quiet(device_t dev);

     void
     device_verbose(device_t dev);

     int
     device_is_quiet(device_t dev);

DESCRIPTION
     Each device has a quiet flag associated with it.  A device is verbose by default when it is created but may be quieted to prevent the device
     identification string to be printed during probe.	To quiet a device, call device_quiet(), to re-enable to probe message (to make the message
     appear again, for example after a device_detach(9)) call device_verbose().  To test to see if a device is quieted, call device_is_quiet().
