31.Dt POWERHOOK_ESTABLISH 9
32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm powerhook_establish ,
35.Nm powerhook_disestablish
36.Nd add or remove a power change hook
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Ft void *
39.Fn powerhook_establish "const char *name" "void (*fn)(int why, void *a)" \
40"void *arg"
41.Ft void
42.Fn powerhook_disestablish "void *cookie"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn powerhook_establish
46function adds
47.Fa fn
48of the list of hooks invoked by
49.Xr dopowerhooks 9
50at power change.
51When invoked, the hook function
52.Fa fn
53will be passed the new power state as the first argument and
54.Fa arg
55as its second argument.
56.Pp
57The
58.Fn powerhook_disestablish
59function removes the hook described by the opaque pointer
60.Fa cookie
61from the list of hooks to be invoked at power change.
62If
63.Fa cookie
64is invalid, the result of
65.Fn powerhook_disestablish
66is undefined.
67.Pp
68Power hooks should be used to perform activities
69that must happen when the power situation to the computer changes.
70Because of the environment in which they are run, power hooks cannot
71rely on many system services (including file systems, and timeouts
72and other interrupt-driven services).
73The power hooks are typically executed from an interrupt context.
74.Pp
75The different reasons for calling the power hooks are: suspend, standby, and
76resume.
77The reason is reflected in the
78.Fa why
79argument and the values
80.Dv PWR_SOFTSUSPEND ,
81.Dv PWR_SUSPEND ,
82.Dv PWR_SOFTSTANDBY ,
83.Dv PWR_STANDBY ,
84.Dv PWR_SOFTRESUME ,
85and
86.Dv PWR_RESUME .
87It calls with PWR_SOFTxxx in the normal priority level while the other
88callings are protected with
89.Xr splhigh 9 .
90At suspend the system is going to lose (almost) all power, standby retains
91some power (e.g., minimal power to USB devices), and at resume power is
92back to normal.
93.Sh RETURN VALUES
94If successful,
95.Fn powerhook_establish
96returns an opaque pointer describing the newly-established
97power hook.
98Otherwise, it returns NULL.
