.Dt DEV_MODULE 9
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm DEV_MODULE
.Nd device driver module declaration macro
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/param.h
.In sys/kernel.h
.In sys/module.h
.In sys/conf.h
.Fn DEV_MODULE "name" "modeventhand_t evh" "void *arg"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn DEV_MODULE
macro declares a device driver kernel module.
It fills in a
.Vt moduledata_t
structure and then calls
.Fn DECLARE_MODULE
with the correct args, where
.Fa name
is the name of the module and
.Fa evh
(with its argument
.Fa arg )
is the event handler for the module (refer to
.Xr DECLARE_MODULE 9
for more information).
The event handler is supposed to create the device with
.Fn make_dev
on load and to destroy it when it is unloaded using
.Fn destroy_dev .
.Sh EXAMPLES
.Bd -literal
#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);
