.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBddi_add_event_handler()\fR function adds a callback handler to be
invoked in the face of the event specifed by \fIcookie\fR. 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
\fBddi_remove_event_handler\fR(9F).
.sp
.LP
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.
.sp
.LP
The routine handler will be invoked with the following arguments:

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