For example, devd might execute 32dhclient(8) when an Ethernet adapter is added to the system, and kill the 33dhclient(8) instance when the same adapter is removed. Another example would 34be for devd to use a table to locate and load via kldload(8) the proper driver 35for an unrecognized device that is added to the system. 36EOD 37 38annotations { 39 set = "minimal,minimal-jail" 40} 41
