79.Sh DESCRIPTION
80The
81.Nm
82library adjusts the state of devices in the kernel's internal device
83hierarchy.
84Each control operation accepts a
85.Fa device
86argument that identifies the device to adjust.
87The
88.Fa device
89may be specified as either the name of an existing device or as a
90bus-specific address.
91The following bus-specific address formats are currently supported:
92.Bl -tag -offset indent
93.It Sy pci Ns Fa domain Ns : Ns Fa bus Ns : Ns Fa slot Ns : Ns Fa function
94A PCI device with the specified
95.Fa domain ,
96.Fa bus ,
97.Fa slot ,
98and
99.Fa function .
100.It Sy pci Ns Fa bus Ns : Ns Fa slot Ns : Ns Fa function
101A PCI device in domain zero with the specified
102.Fa bus ,
103.Fa slot ,
104and
105.Fa function .
106.It Fa handle
107A device with an ACPI handle of
108.Fa handle .
109The handle must be specified as an absolute path and must begin with a
110.Dq \e .
111.El
112.Pp
113The
114.Fn devctl_attach
115function probes a device and attaches a suitable device driver if one is
116found.
117.Pp
118The
119.Fn devctl_detach
120function detaches a device from its current device driver.
121The device is left detached until either a new driver for its parent
122bus is loaded or the device is explicitly probed via
123.Fn devctl_attach .
124If
125.Fa force
126is true,
127the current device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
128.Pp
129The
130.Fn devctl_delete
131function deletes a device from the device tree.
132No
133If
134.Fa force
135is true,
136the device is deleted even if the device is physically present.
137.Pp
138The
139.Fn devctl_disable
140function disables a device.
141If the device is currently attached to a device driver,
142the device driver will be detached from the device,
143but the device will retain its current name.
144If
145.Fa force_detach
146is true,
147the current device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
148The device will remain disabled and detached until it is explicitly enabled
149via
150.Fn devctl_enable .
151.Pp
152The
153.Fn devctl_enable
154function re-enables a disabled device.
155The device will probe and attach if a suitable device driver is found.
156.Pp
157The
158.Fn devctl_suspend
159function suspends a device.
160This may include placing the device in a reduced power state,
161but any device driver currently attached to the device will remain attached.
162.Pp
163The
164.Fn devctl_resume
165function resumes a suspended device to a fully working state.
166.Pp
167The
168.Fn devctl_set_driver
169function attaches a device driver named
170.Fa driver
171to a device.
172If the device is already attached and
173.Fa force
174is false,
175the request will fail.
176If the device is already attached and
177.Fa force
178is true,
179the device will be detached from its current device driver before it is
180attached to the new device driver.
181.Pp
182The
183.Fn devctl_clear_driver
184function resets a device so that it can be attached to any valid device
185driver rather than only drivers with a previously specified name.
186This function is used to undo a previous call to
187.Fn devctl_set_driver .
188If the device is already attached and
189.Fa force
190is false,
191the request will fail.
192If the device is already attached and
193.Fa force
194is true,
195the device will be detached from its current device driver.
196After the device's name is reset,
197it is reprobed and attached to a suitable device driver if one is found.
198.Pp
199The
200.Fn devctl_rescan
201function rescans a bus device checking for devices that have been added or
202removed.
203.Pp
204The
205.Fn devctl_getpath
206retrieves the path to the
207.Fa device
208from the kernel using the
209.Fa locator
210method to construct the path.
211The
212.Fa buffer
213pointer is updated with an allocated buffer that must be freed with
214.Xr free .
215.Pp
216The
217.Fn devctl_freeze
218function freezes probe and attach processing initiated in response to
219drivers being loaded.
220.Pp
221The
222.Fn devctl_thaw
223function resumes (thaws the freeze) probe and attach processing
224initiated in response to drivers being loaded.
225.Pp
226The
227.Fn devctl_reset
228function resets the specified device using bus-specific reset method.
229The
230.Fa detach
231argument, if true, specifies that the device driver is detached before
232the reset, and re-attached afterwards.
233If false, the device is suspended before the reset, and resumed after.

426.Sh HISTORY
427The
428.Nm
429library first appeared in
430.Fx 10.3 .
431.Sh BUGS
432If a device is suspended individually via
433.Fn devctl_suspend
434and the entire machine is subsequently suspended,
435the device will be resumed when the machine resumes.
436.Pp
437Similarly, if the device is suspended, and
438.Fn devctl_reset
439is called on the device with
440.Fa detach
441set to
442.Va false ,
443the device is resumed by the
444.Fn devctl_reset
445call.
446Or, if the driver for the device is detached manually, and
447.Fn devctl_reset
448is called on the device with
449.Fa detach
450set to
451.Va true ,
452device reset re-attaches the driver.
453
