26.Dt DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS 9
27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS
30.Nd "GEOM class declaration macro"
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.In geom/geom.h
33.Fn DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS "class" "mod_name"
34.Sh DESCRIPTION
35The
36.Fn DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS
37macro registers a GEOM class in GEOM.
38A GEOM class itself implements one particular kind of transformation.
39Typical examples are: MBR disk partition,
40.Bx
41disklabel and RAID5 classes.
42.Fn DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS
43can be used both for compiled in and loaded as
44.Xr kld 4
45modules GEOM classes and it is the only official way for class registration.
46.Pp
47The arguments to
48.Fn DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS
49are:
50.Bl -tag -offset indent -width Fa
51.It Fa class
52The
53.Vt g_class
54structure which describes a GEOM class.
55.It Fa mod_name
56A kernel module name (not a class name!).
57.El
58.Pp
59Structure
60.Vt g_class
61contains data describing the class.
62They are:
63.Bl -tag -offset indent -width indent
64.It Vt "const char *" Va name
65Class name.
66.It Vt "g_taste_t *" Va taste
67Pointer to function used for taste event handling.
68If it is
69.Pf non- Dv NULL
70it is called in three situations:
71.Pp
72.Bl -dash -compact
73.It
74On class activation, all existing providers are offered for tasting.
75.It
76When new provider is created it is offered for tasting.
77.It
78After last write access to a provider is closed it is offered for retasting
79(on first write open event
80.Dq spoil
81was sent).
82.El
83.It Vt "g_config_t *" Va config
84This field is not used anymore, its functionality was replaced by the
85.Va ctlreq
86field.
87.It Vt "g_ctl_req_t *" Va ctlreq
88Pointer to function used for handling events from userland applications.
89.It Vt "g_init_t *" Va init
90Pointer to function which is called right after class registration.
91.It Vt "g_fini_t *" Va fini
92Pointer to function which is called right before class deregistration.
93.It Vt "g_ctl_destroy_geom_t *" Va destroy_geom
94Pointer to a function which is called for every geom on class unload.
95If this field is not set, the class can not be unloaded.
96.El
97.Pp
98Only a
99.Fa name
100field is required; the rest are optional.
101.Sh RESTRICTIONS/CONDITIONS
102The fields of
103.Vt g_class
104should always be initialized using C99-style field naming
105(see the initialization of
106.Va example_class
107below).
108.Sh EXAMPLES
109Example class declaration.
