| Driver Entry Points | chpoll(9E) |
| | chpoll - poll entry point for a non-STREAMS character driver |
SYNOPSIS
| |
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/poll.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
#include <sys/sunddi.h>
int prefixchpoll(dev_t dev, short events, int anyyet, short *reventsp, struct pollhead **phpp); |
| |
This entry point is optional. Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
|
| |
-
dev
- The device number for the device to be polled.
-
events
- The events that may occur. Valid events are:
-
POLLIN
- Data other than high priority data may be read without blocking.
-
POLLOUT
- Normal data may be written without blocking.
-
POLLPRI
- High priority data may be received without blocking.
-
POLLHUP
- A device hangup has occurred.
-
POLLERR
- An error has occurred on the device.
-
POLLRDNORM
- Normal data (priority band = 0) may be read without blocking.
-
POLLRDBAND
- Data from a non-zero priority band may be read without blocking
-
POLLWRNORM
- The same as POLLOUT.
-
POLLWRBAND
- Priority data (priority band > 0) may be written.
-
anyyet
- A flag that is non-zero if any other file descriptors in the pollfd array have events pending. The poll(2) system call takes a pointer to an array of pollfd structures as one of its arguments. See the poll(2) reference
page for more details.
-
reventsp
- A pointer to a bitmask of the returned events satisfied.
-
phpp
- A pointer to a pointer to a pollhead structure.

The chpoll() entry point routine is used by non-STREAMS character device drivers that wish to support polling. The driver must implement the polling discipline itself. The following rules must be followed when implementing the polling discipline:
- Implement the following algorithm when the chpoll() entry point is called:
| |
if (events_are_satisfied_now) {
*reventsp = mask_of_satisfied_events;
} else {
*reventsp = 0;
if (!anyyet)
*phpp = &my_local_pollhead_structure;
}
return (0);
|
- Allocate an instance of the pollhead structure. This instance may be tied to the per-minor data structure defined by the driver. The pollhead structure should be treated as a ``black box'' by the driver. None of its fields should be referenced.
However, the size of this structure is guaranteed to remain the same across releases.
- Call the pollwakeup() function whenever an event of type events listed above occur. This function can be called with multiple events at one time. The driver must not hold any mutex across the call to pollwakeup(9F) that is acquired in its chpoll() entry point, or a deadlock may result.
|
| |
chpoll() should return 0 for success, or the appropriate error number.
