The arp functions provide the interface between the arp module and the network drivers which need arp functionality. Such drivers must request the arp attribute in their "files" declaration. arp_ifi...
The audio device driver is divided into a high level, hardware independent layer, and a low level hardware dependent layer. The interface between these is the audio_hw_if structure. struct audio_hw_if...
Autoconfiguration is the process of matching hardware devices with an appropriate device driver. In its most basic form, autoconfiguration consists of the recursive process of finding and attaching al...
The bcmp() interface is obsolete. Do not add new code using it. It will soon be purged. Use memcmp(9) instead. (The bcmp() function is now a macro for memcmp(9).) The bcmp() function compares byte str...
The bcopy() interface is obsolete. Do not add new code using it. It will soon be purged. Use memcpy(9) instead. (The bcopy() function is now a macro for memcpy(9).) The bcopy() function copies len byt...
The vnode is the focus of all file activity in NetBSD. There is a unique vnode allocated for each active file, directory, mounted-on file, fifo, domain socket, symbolic link and device. The kernel has...
The bioscall function switches the processor into real mode, calls the BIOS interrupt numbered function, and returns to protected mode. This function is intended to be called during the initial system...
The bitmask_snprintf() function formats a bitmask into a mnemonic form suitable for printing. This conversion is useful for decoding bit fields in device registers. It formats the integer val into the...
The time variable is the system's ``wall time'' clock. It is set at boot by inittodr(9), and is updated by the settimeofday(2) system call and by periodic clock interrupts. The boottime variable ho...
This collection of routines provides a disklabel management interface to kernel device drivers. These routines are classified as machine- or architecture-dependent because of restrictions imposed by t...
