32.Dt DEV_MODULE 9
33.Os
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm DEV_MODULE
36.Nd device driver module declaration macro
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In sys/param.h
39.In sys/kernel.h
40.In sys/module.h
41.In sys/conf.h
42.Fn DEV_MODULE "name" "modeventhand_t evh" "void *arg"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn DEV_MODULE
46macro declares a device driver kernel module.
47It fills in a
48.Vt moduledata_t
49structure and then calls
50.Fn DECLARE_MODULE
51with the correct args, where
52.Fa name
53is the name of the module and
54.Fa evh
55(with its argument
56.Fa arg )
57is the event handler for the module (refer to
58.Xr DECLARE_MODULE 9
59for more information).
60The event handler is supposed to create the device with
61.Fn make_dev
62on load and to destroy it when it is unloaded using
63.Fn destroy_dev .
