get_random_bytes(9) -- device kernel interface
|
The add_mouse_randomness(), add_tty_randomness(), add_net_randomness(), add_disk_randomness() and add_audio_randomness() routines are used to supply data for the random data source device for further ... |
gsignal(9) -- post signal to a process
|
These functions post a signal to one or more processes. The argument signum common to all three functions should be in the range [1-NSIG]. The psignal() function posts signal number signum to the proc... |
hardclock(9) -- real-time system clock
|
hardclock() implements the real-time system clock, interrupting hz(9) times a second. The argument frame is an opaque, machine dependent structure that encapsulates the previous machine state. hardclo... |
hash(9) -- general kernel hashing functions
|
The hash32() functions are used to give a consistent and general interface to a decent hashing algorithm within the kernel. These functions can be used to hash ASCII NUL terminated strings, as well as... |
hashinit(9) -- kernel hashtable functions
|
The hashinit() function is used to allocate a hashtable of a desired size given by the num argument. The hashinit() function will round this number to the next power of two, and allocate and initializ... |
hook_disestablish(9) -- add or remove a hook from a specified list
|
The hook_establish() function adds fn to the list of hooks invoked by dohooks(9). If tail is non-zero, the hook is added to the tail of the list denoted by the TAILQ_HEAD pointer head, otherwise to th... |
hook_establish(9) -- add or remove a hook from a specified list
|
The hook_establish() function adds fn to the list of hooks invoked by dohooks(9). If tail is non-zero, the hook is added to the tail of the list denoted by the TAILQ_HEAD pointer head, otherwise to th... |
hz(9) -- system time model
|
The system is driven by hardclock(9) interrupts, which occur at hz frequency, and are used to keep track of real time. On systems where another independent clock is available, it is set at stathz freq... |
hzto(9) -- translate absolute time to timeout delay
|
The hzto() function computes the number of hz until the specified time occurs. This is mainly used to translate a timeval into a suitable argument for timeout(9). |
iic(9) -- Inter IC (I2C) bus
|
I2C is a two-wire bus developed by Philips used for connecting integrated circuits. It is commonly used for connecting devices such as EEPROMs, temperature sensors, fan controllers, real-time clocks, ... |
imax(9) -- kernel library routines
|
The kern library implements a set of useful functions and macros inside the kernel. |
imin(9) -- kernel library routines
|
The kern library implements a set of useful functions and macros inside the kernel. |
inittodr(9) -- initialize system time
|
The inittodr() function determines the time and sets the system clock. It tries to pick the correct time using a set of heuristics that examine the system's battery-backed clock and the time reported... |
