68.Sh DESCRIPTION
69The
70.Nm
71library adjusts the state of devices in the kernel's internal device
72hierarchy.
73Each control operation accepts a
74.Fa device
75argument that identifies the device to adjust.
76The
77.Fa device
78may be specified as either the name of an existing device or as a
79bus-specific address.
80The following bus-specific address formats are currently supported:
81.Bl -tag -offset indent
82.It Sy pci Ns Fa domain Ns : Ns Fa bus Ns : Ns Fa slot Ns : Ns Fa function
83A PCI device with the specified
84.Fa domain ,
85.Fa bus ,
86.Fa slot ,
87and
88.Fa function .
89.It Sy pci Ns Fa bus Ns : Ns Fa slot Ns : Ns Fa function
90A PCI device in domain zero with the specified
91.Fa bus ,
92.Fa slot ,
93and
94.Fa function .
95.It Fa handle
96A device with an ACPI handle of
97.Fa handle .
98The handle must be specified as an absolute path and must begin with a
99.Dq \e .
100.El
101.Pp
102The
103.Fn devctl_attach
104function probes a device and attaches a suitable device driver if one is
105found.
106.Pp
107The
108.Fn devctl_detach
109function detaches a device from its current device driver.
110The device is left detached until either a new driver for its parent
111bus is loaded or the device is explicitly probed via
112.Fn devctl_attach .
113If
114.Fa force
115is true,
116the current device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
117.Pp
118The
119.Fn devctl_delete
120function deletes a device from the device tree.
121No
122If
123.Fa force
124is true,
125the device is deleted even if the device is physically present.
126.Pp
127The
128.Fn devctl_disable
129function disables a device.
130If the device is currently attached to a device driver,
131the device driver will be detached from the device,
132but the device will retain its current name.
133If
134.Fa force_detach
135is true,
136the current device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
137The device will remain disabled and detached until it is explicitly enabled
138via
139.Fn devctl_enable .
140.Pp
141The
142.Fn devctl_enable
143function re-enables a disabled device.
144The device will probe and attach if a suitable device driver is found.
145.Pp
146The
147.Fn devctl_suspend
148function suspends a device.
149This may include placing the device in a reduced power state,
150but any device driver currently attached to the device will remain attached.
151.Pp
152The
153.Fn devctl_resume
154function resumes a suspended device to a fully working state.
155.Pp
156The
157.Fn devctl_set_driver
158function attaches a device driver named
159.Fa driver
160to a device.
161If the device is already attached and
162.Fa force
163is false,
164the request will fail.
165If the device is already attached and
166.Fa force
167is true,
168the device will be detached from its current device driver before it is
169attached to the new device driver.
170.Pp
171The
172.Fn devctl_clear_driver
173function resets a device so that it can be attached to any valid device
174driver rather than only drivers with a previously specified name.
175This function is used to undo a previous call to
176.Fn devctl_set_driver .
177If the device is already attached and
178.Fa force
179is false,
180the request will fail.
181If the device is already attached and
182.Fa force
183is true,
184the device will be detached from its current device driver.
185After the device's name is reset,
186it is reprobed and attached to a suitable device driver if one is found.
187.Pp
188The
189.Fn devctl_rescan
190function rescans a bus device checking for devices that have been added or
191removed.
