38.Dt POWERHOOK_ESTABLISH 9
39.Os
40.Sh NAME
41.Nm powerhook_establish ,
42.Nm powerhook_disestablish
43.Nd add or remove a power change hook
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Ft void *
46.Fn powerhook_establish "void (*fn)(int why, void *a)" "void *arg"
47.Ft void
48.Fn powerhook_disestablish "void *cookie"
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Fn powerhook_establish
52function adds
53.Fa fn
54of the list of hooks invoked by
55.Xr dopowerhooks 9
56at power change.  When invoked, the hook function
57.Fa fn
58will be passed the new power state as the first argument and
59.Fa arg
60as its second argument.
61.Pp
62The
63.Fn powerhook_disestablish
64function removes the hook described by the opaque pointer
65.Fa cookie
66from the list of hooks to be invoked at power change.  If
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.  Because
74of the environment in which they are run, shutdown 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.  The reason is reflected in the
81.Fa why
82argument and the values
83.Dv PWR_SOFTSUSPEND ,
84.Dv PWR_SUSPEND ,
85.Dv PWR_SOFTSTANDBY ,
86.Dv PWR_STANDBY ,
87.Dv PWR_SOFTRESUME ,
88and
89.Dv PWR_RESUME .
90It calls with PWR_SOFTxxx in the normal priority level while the other
91callings are protected with
92.Xr splhigh 9 .
93At suspend the system is going to lose (almost) all power, standby retains
94some power (e.g., minimal power to USB devices), and at resume power is
95back to normal.
96.Sh RETURN VALUES
97If successful,
98.Fn powerhook_establish
99returns an opaque pointer describing the newly-established
100shutdown hook.  Otherwise, it returns NULL.
