.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm DEVICE_PROBE
|
|
.Nd probe for device existence
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/bus.h>
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn DEVICE_PROBE "device_t dev"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This device method should probe to see if the device is present. If
|
|
the device exists, the probe should return 0, otherwise ENXIO should
|
|
be returned. If some other error happens during the probe (such as a
|
|
memory allocation failure), an appropriate error code should be returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Devices which implement busses should use this method to probe for the
|
|
existence of devices attached to the bus and add them as children. If
|
|
this is combined with the use of
|
|
.Xr bus_generic_attach 9
|
|
the child devices will be automatically probed and attached.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error is returned.
