30.Dt DEV_MODULE 9
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm DEV_MODULE
34.Nd device driver module declaration macro
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In sys/param.h
37.In sys/kernel.h
38.In sys/module.h
39.In sys/conf.h
40.Fn DEV_MODULE "name" "modeventhand_t evh" "void *arg"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Fn DEV_MODULE
44macro declares a device driver kernel module.
45It fills in a
46.Vt moduledata_t
47structure and then calls
48.Fn DECLARE_MODULE
49with the correct args, where
50.Fa name
51is the name of the module and
52.Fa evh
53(with its argument
54.Fa arg )
55is the event handler for the module (refer to
56.Xr DECLARE_MODULE 9
57for more information).
58The event handler is supposed to create the device with
59.Fn make_dev
60on load and to destroy it when it is unloaded using
61.Fn destroy_dev .
