30.Dt EXAMPLE 9
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm example
34.Nd "example kernel interface manual page"
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In sys/example.h
37.Ft int
38.Fn example "char *ptr" "int mode"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40This is an example manual page for the
41.Fn example
42kernel function.
43It is intended that this example can be used as a template
44when writing a new manual page.
45.Pp
46The
47.Fn example
48function takes two arguments:
49.Fa ptr
50and
51.Fa mode .
52The argument
53.Fa mode
54may have one of the following values:
55.Bl -tag -width ".Dv EXAMPLE_ONE"
56.It Dv EXAMPLE_ONE
57First example of a defined variable.
58.Dv EXAMPLE_ONE
59is described below.
60.It Dv EXAMPLE_TWO
61Second example.
62.El
63.Pp
64The above values are defined in
65.In example.h
66as follows:
67.Bd -literal
68#define EXAMPLE_ONE  1
69#define EXAMPLE_TWO  2
70.Ed
71.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
72The
73.Fn example
74function is not actually implemented.
75.Sh LOCKING
76The
77.Va example_lock
78lock must be held before
79.Fn example
80is called.
81.Pp
82Since
83.Va example_lock
84is a
85.Xr mutex 9 ,
86no sleepable locks (i.e.,
87.Xr sx 9
88locks) can be acquired in
89.Fn example .
90.Sh RETURN VALUES
91The
92.Fn example
93function returns the value 0 if successful;
94otherwise one of the values listed in the
95.Sx ERRORS
96section is returned, to indicate the error.
97.Sh EXAMPLES
98.Bd -literal
99	int error;
100
101	mtx_lock(&example_lock);
102	if ((error = example(NULL, EXAMPLE_ONE)) != 0) {
103		mtx_unlock(&example_lock);
104		return (error);
105	}
106	mtx_unlock(&example_lock);
107.Ed
108.Sh COMPATIBILITY
109The
110.Fn example
111function has no known compatibility issues.
112.Sh ERRORS
113.\" Delete any errno's that are not returned by your
114.\" function or system call and then tailor the
115.\" remaining text as needed.
