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