Registration id must be saved and used when calling \fBldi_remove_event_handler\fR(9F) to unregister a callback handler. .RE .SH DESCRIPTION .sp .LP This function is obsolete and is only maintained for compatibility. Use of this function is strongly discouraged. For equivalent functionality provided by new interfaces, see \fBldi_ev_get_cookie\fR(9F) and \fBldi_ev_register_callbacks\fR(9F). .sp .LP The \fBldi_add_event_handler()\fR function adds a callback handler to be invoked at the occurance of the event specified by the cookie. Adding a callback handler is also known as subscribing to an event. Upon successful subscription, the handler is invoked when the event occurs. You can unregister the handler by using \fBldi_remove_event_handler\fR(9F). .sp .LP An instance of a layered driver can register multiple handlers for an event or a single handler for multiple events. Callback order is not defined and should be assumed to be random. .sp .LP The routine handler is invoked with the following arguments: .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBldi_handle_t\fR \fIlh\fR\fR .ad .RS 24n Layered handle representing the device for which the event notification is requested. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBddi_eventcookie_t\fR \fIec\fR\fR .ad .RS 24n Structure describing event that occurred. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBvoid *\fR\fIarg\fR\fR .ad .RS 24n Opaque data pointer provided by the driver during callback registration. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBvoid *\fR\fIimpl_data\fR\fR .ad .RS 24n Pointer to event specific data defined by the framework that invokes the callback function. .RE .SH RETURN VALUES .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBDDI_SUCCESS\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n Callback handler registered successfully. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBDDI_FAILURE\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n Failed to register callback handler. Possible reasons include lack of resources or a bad cookie. .RE .SH CONTEXT .sp .LP The \fBldi_add_event_handler()\fR function can be called from user and kernel contexts only. .SH SEE ALSO .sp .LP \fBldi_ev_get_cookie\fR(9F), \fBldi_ev_register_callbacks\fR(9F), \fBldi_get_eventcookie\fR(9F), \fBldi_remove_event_handler\fR(9F) .sp .LP \fIWriting Device Drivers\fR .SH NOTES .sp .LP Layered drivers must remove all registered callback handlers for a device instance, represented by the layered handle, by calling \fBldi_remove_event_handler\fR(9F) before the layered driver's \fBdetach(9E)\fR routine completes.
