28.Dt DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS 9
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS
32.Nd "GEOM class declaration macro"
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.In geom/geom.h
35.Fn DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS "class" "mod_name"
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Fn DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS
39macro registers a GEOM class in GEOM.
40A GEOM class itself implements one particular kind of transformation.
41Typical examples are: MBR disk partition, BSD disklabel 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 -inset -offset indent
51.It Em class
52is the
53.Vt g_class
54structure which describes a GEOM class.
55.It Em mod_name
56is a 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 -inset -offset 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.No non- Ns Dv NULL
70it is called in three situations:
71.Bl -dash -offset indent -compact
72.It
73On class activation, all existing providers are offered for tasting.
74.It
75When new provider is created it is offered for tasting.
76.It
77After last write access to a provider is closed it is offered for retasting
78(on first write open event
79.Dq spoil
80was sent).
81.El
82.It Vt "g_config_t *" Va config
83This field is not used anymore, its functionality was replaced by the
84.Va ctlreq
85field.
86.It Vt "g_ctl_req_t *" Va ctlreq
87Pointer to function used for handling events from userland applications.
88.It Vt "g_init_t *" Va init
89Pointer to function which is called right after class registration.
90.It Vt "g_fini_t *" Va fini
91Pointer to function which is called right before class deregistration.
92.It Vt "g_ctl_destroy_geom_t *" Va destroy_geom
93Pointer to a function which is called for every geom on class unload.
94If this field is not set, the class can not be unloaded.
95.El
96.Pp
97Only field
98.Fa name
99is required, the rest is optional.
100.Pp
101.Sh RESTRICTIONS/CONDITIONS
102In the
103.Vt g_class
104initialization one must use C99 initialization (just like in the example below).
105.Pp
106.Sh EXAMPLES
107Example class declaration.
