77.Sh DESCRIPTION
78The
79.Nm
80library adjusts the state of devices in the kernel's internal device
81hierarchy.
82Each control operation accepts a
83.Fa device
84argument that identifies the device to adjust.
85The
86.Fa device
87may be specified as either the name of an existing device or as a
88bus-specific address.
89The following bus-specific address formats are currently supported:
90.Bl -tag -offset indent
91.It Sy pci Ns Fa domain Ns : Ns Fa bus Ns : Ns Fa slot Ns : Ns Fa function
92A PCI device with the specified
93.Fa domain ,
94.Fa bus ,
95.Fa slot ,
96and
97.Fa function .
98.It Sy pci Ns Fa bus Ns : Ns Fa slot Ns : Ns Fa function
99A PCI device in domain zero with the specified
100.Fa bus ,
101.Fa slot ,
102and
103.Fa function .
104.It Fa handle
105A device with an ACPI handle of
106.Fa handle .
107The handle must be specified as an absolute path and must begin with a
108.Dq \e .
109.El
110.Pp
111The
112.Fn devctl_attach
113function probes a device and attaches a suitable device driver if one is
114found.
115.Pp
116The
117.Fn devctl_detach
118function detaches a device from its current device driver.
119The device is left detached until either a new driver for its parent
120bus is loaded or the device is explicitly probed via
121.Fn devctl_attach .
122If
123.Fa force
124is true,
125the current device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
126.Pp
127The
128.Fn devctl_delete
129function deletes a device from the device tree.
130No
131If
132.Fa force
133is true,
134the device is deleted even if the device is physically present.
135.Pp
136The
137.Fn devctl_disable
138function disables a device.
139If the device is currently attached to a device driver,
140the device driver will be detached from the device,
141but the device will retain its current name.
142If
143.Fa force_detach
144is true,
145the current device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
146The device will remain disabled and detached until it is explicitly enabled
147via
148.Fn devctl_enable .
149.Pp
150The
151.Fn devctl_enable
152function re-enables a disabled device.
153The device will probe and attach if a suitable device driver is found.
154.Pp
155The
156.Fn devctl_suspend
157function suspends a device.
158This may include placing the device in a reduced power state,
159but any device driver currently attached to the device will remain attached.
160.Pp
161The
162.Fn devctl_resume
163function resumes a suspended device to a fully working state.
164.Pp
165The
166.Fn devctl_set_driver
167function attaches a device driver named
168.Fa driver
169to a device.
170If the device is already attached and
171.Fa force
172is false,
173the request will fail.
174If the device is already attached and
175.Fa force
176is true,
177the device will be detached from its current device driver before it is
178attached to the new device driver.
179.Pp
180The
181.Fn devctl_clear_driver
182function resets a device so that it can be attached to any valid device
183driver rather than only drivers with a previously specified name.
184This function is used to undo a previous call to
185.Fn devctl_set_driver .
186If the device is already attached and
187.Fa force
188is false,
189the request will fail.
190If the device is already attached and
191.Fa force
192is true,
193the device will be detached from its current device driver.
194After the device's name is reset,
195it is reprobed and attached to a suitable device driver if one is found.
196.Pp
197The
198.Fn devctl_rescan
199function rescans a bus device checking for devices that have been added or
200removed.
201.Pp
202The
203.Fn devctl_getpath
204retrieves the path to the
205.Fa device
206from the kernel using the
207.Fa locator
208method to construct the path.
209The
210.Fa buffer
211pointer is updated with an allocated buffer that must be freed with
212.Xr free .
213.Pp
214The
215.Fn devctl_freeze
216function freezes probe and attach processing initiated in response to
217drivers being loaded.
218.Pp
219The
220.Fn devctl_thaw
221function resumes (thaws the freeze) probe and attach processing
222initiated in response to drivers being loaded.
223.Pp
224The
225.Fn devctl_reset
226function resets the specified device using bus-specific reset method.
227The
228.Fa detach
229argument, if true, specifies that the device driver is detached before
230the reset, and re-attached afterwards.
231If false, the device is suspended before the reset, and resumed after.

424.Sh HISTORY
425The
426.Nm
427library first appeared in
428.Fx 10.3 .
429.Sh BUGS
430If a device is suspended individually via
431.Fn devctl_suspend
432and the entire machine is subsequently suspended,
433the device will be resumed when the machine resumes.
434.Pp
435Similarly, if the device is suspended, and
436.Fn devctl_reset
437is called on the device with
438.Fa detach
439set to
440.Va false ,
441the device is resumed by the
442.Fn devctl_reset
443call.
444Or, if the driver for the device is detached manually, and
445.Fn devctl_reset
446is called on the device with
447.Fa detach
448set to
449.Va true ,
450device reset re-attaches the driver.
