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
44.Em The
45.Nm
46.Em API is deprecated.
47.Pp
48The
49.Fn powerhook_establish
50function adds
51.Fa fn
52of the list of hooks invoked by
53.Xr dopowerhooks 9
54at power change.
55When invoked, the hook function
56.Fa fn
57will be passed the new power state as the first argument and
58.Fa arg
59as its second argument.
60.Pp
61The
62.Fn powerhook_disestablish
63function removes the hook described by the opaque pointer
64.Fa cookie
65from the list of hooks to be invoked at power change.
66If
67.Fa cookie
68is invalid, the result of
69.Fn powerhook_disestablish
70is undefined.
71.Pp
72Power hooks should be used to perform activities
73that must happen when the power situation to the computer changes.
74Because of the environment in which they are run, power hooks cannot
75rely on many system services (including file systems, and timeouts
76and other interrupt-driven services).
77The power hooks are typically executed from an interrupt context.
78.Pp
79The different reasons for calling the power hooks are: suspend, standby, and
80resume.
81The reason is reflected in the
82.Fa why
83argument and the values
84.Dv PWR_SOFTSUSPEND ,
85.Dv PWR_SUSPEND ,
86.Dv PWR_SOFTSTANDBY ,
87.Dv PWR_STANDBY ,
88.Dv PWR_SOFTRESUME ,
89and
90.Dv PWR_RESUME .
91It calls with PWR_SOFTxxx in the normal priority level while the other
92callings are protected with
93.Xr splhigh 9 .
94At suspend the system is going to lose (almost) all power, standby retains
95some power (e.g., minimal power to USB devices), and at resume power is
96back to normal.
97.Sh RETURN VALUES
98If successful,
99.Fn powerhook_establish
100returns an opaque pointer describing the newly-established
101power hook.
102Otherwise, it returns NULL.
