.Sh NAME
.Nm DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS
.Nd "GEOM class declaration macro"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In geom/geom.h
.Fn DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS "class" "mod_name"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS
macro registers a GEOM class in GEOM.
A GEOM class itself implements one particular kind of transformation.
Typical examples are: MBR disk partition,
.Bx
disklabel and RAID5 classes.
.Fn DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS
can be used both for compiled in and loaded as
.Xr kld 4
modules GEOM classes and it is the only official way for class registration.
.Pp
The arguments to
.Fn DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS
are:
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width Fa
.It Fa class
The
.Vt g_class
structure which describes a GEOM class.
.It Fa mod_name
A kernel module name (not a class name!).
.El
.Pp
Structure
.Vt g_class
contains data describing the class.
They are:
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width indent
.It Vt "const char *" Va name
Class name.
.It Vt "g_taste_t *" Va taste
Pointer to function used for taste event handling.
If it is
.Pf non- Dv NULL
it is called in three situations:
.Pp
.Bl -dash -compact
.It
On class activation, all existing providers are offered for tasting.
.It
When new provider is created it is offered for tasting.
.It
After last write access to a provider is closed it is offered for retasting
(on first write open event
.Dq spoil
was sent).
.El
.It Vt "g_config_t *" Va config
This field is not used anymore, its functionality was replaced by the
.Va ctlreq
field.
.It Vt "g_ctl_req_t *" Va ctlreq
Pointer to function used for handling events from userland applications.
.It Vt "g_init_t *" Va init
Pointer to function which is called right after class registration.
.It Vt "g_fini_t *" Va fini
Pointer to function which is called right before class deregistration.
.It Vt "g_ctl_destroy_geom_t *" Va destroy_geom
Pointer to a function which is called for every geom on class unload.
If this field is not set, the class can not be unloaded.
.El
.Pp
Only a
.Fa name
field is required; the rest are optional.
.Sh RESTRICTIONS/CONDITIONS
The fields of
.Vt g_class
should always be initialized using C99-style field naming
(see the initialization of
.Va example_class
below).
.Sh EXAMPLES
Example class declaration.
