76.Sh DESCRIPTION
77The
78.Nm
79library adjusts the state of devices in the kernel's internal device
80hierarchy.
81Each control operation accepts a
82.Fa device
83argument that identifies the device to adjust.
84The
85.Fa device
86may be specified as either the name of an existing device or as a
87bus-specific address.
88The following bus-specific address formats are currently supported:
89.Bl -tag -offset indent
90.It Sy pci Ns Fa domain Ns : Ns Fa bus Ns : Ns Fa slot Ns : Ns Fa function
91A PCI device with the specified
92.Fa domain ,
93.Fa bus ,
94.Fa slot ,
95and
96.Fa function .
97.It Sy pci Ns Fa bus Ns : Ns Fa slot Ns : Ns Fa function
98A PCI device in domain zero with the specified
99.Fa bus ,
100.Fa slot ,
101and
102.Fa function .
103.It Fa handle
104A device with an ACPI handle of
105.Fa handle .
106The handle must be specified as an absolute path and must begin with a
107.Dq \e .
108.El
109.Pp
110The
111.Fn devctl_attach
112function probes a device and attaches a suitable device driver if one is
113found.
114.Pp
115The
116.Fn devctl_detach
117function detaches a device from its current device driver.
118The device is left detached until either a new driver for its parent
119bus is loaded or the device is explicitly probed via
120.Fn devctl_attach .
121If
122.Fa force
123is true,
124the current device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
125.Pp
126The
127.Fn devctl_delete
128function deletes a device from the device tree.
129No
130If
131.Fa force
132is true,
133the device is deleted even if the device is physically present.
134.Pp
135The
136.Fn devctl_disable
137function disables a device.
138If the device is currently attached to a device driver,
139the device driver will be detached from the device,
140but the device will retain its current name.
141If
142.Fa force_detach
143is true,
144the current device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
145The device will remain disabled and detached until it is explicitly enabled
146via
147.Fn devctl_enable .
148.Pp
149The
150.Fn devctl_enable
151function re-enables a disabled device.
152The device will probe and attach if a suitable device driver is found.
153.Pp
154The
155.Fn devctl_suspend
156function suspends a device.
157This may include placing the device in a reduced power state,
158but any device driver currently attached to the device will remain attached.
159.Pp
160The
161.Fn devctl_resume
162function resumes a suspended device to a fully working state.
163.Pp
164The
165.Fn devctl_set_driver
166function attaches a device driver named
167.Fa driver
168to a device.
169If the device is already attached and
170.Fa force
171is false,
172the request will fail.
173If the device is already attached and
174.Fa force
175is true,
176the device will be detached from its current device driver before it is
177attached to the new device driver.
178.Pp
179The
180.Fn devctl_clear_driver
181function resets a device so that it can be attached to any valid device
182driver rather than only drivers with a previously specified name.
183This function is used to undo a previous call to
184.Fn devctl_set_driver .
185If the device is already attached and
186.Fa force
187is false,
188the request will fail.
189If the device is already attached and
190.Fa force
191is true,
192the device will be detached from its current device driver.
193After the device's name is reset,
194it is reprobed and attached to a suitable device driver if one is found.
195.Pp
196The
197.Fn devctl_rescan
198function rescans a bus device checking for devices that have been added or
199removed.
200.Pp
201The
202.Fn devctl_freeze
203function freezes probe and attach processing initiated in response to
204drivers being loaded.
205.Pp
206The
207.Fn devctl_thaw
208function resumes (thaws the freeze) probe and attach processing
209initiated in response to drivers being loaded.
210.Pp
211The
212.Fn devctl_reset
213function resets the specified device using bus-specific reset method.
214The
215.Fa detach
216argument, if true, specifies that the device driver is detached before
217the reset, and re-attached afterwards.
218If false, the device is suspended before the reset, and resumed after.

411.Sh HISTORY
412The
413.Nm
414library first appeared in
415.Fx 10.3 .
416.Sh BUGS
417If a device is suspended individually via
418.Fn devctl_suspend
419and the entire machine is subsequently suspended,
420the device will be resumed when the machine resumes.
421.Pp
422Similarly, if the device is suspended, and
423.Fn devctl_reset
424is called on the device with
425.Fa detach
426set to
427.Va false ,
428the device is resumed by the
429.Fn devctl_reset
430call.
431Or, if the driver for the device is detached manually, and
432.Fn devctl_reset
433is called on the device with
434.Fa detach
435set to
436.Va true ,
437device reset re-attaches the driver.
