.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx
|
|
TTY line discipline framework allows extensibility.
|
|
Modules that need special line disciplines can add
|
|
them as convenient and do not need to modify tty_conf.c.
|
|
Line disciplines are now managed by a string, rather than
|
|
number.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once the framework has been initialized, a new line
|
|
discipline can be added by creating and initializing a
|
|
.Fa struct linesw
|
|
and calling
|
|
.Fn ttyldisc_add .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following is a brief description of each function in the framework:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "ttyldisc_remove()"
|
|
.It Fn ttyldisc_add
|
|
Register a line discipline. The
|
|
.Fa l_name
|
|
field of the
|
|
.Fa struct linesw
|
|
should point to a string which is to be the symbolic
|
|
name of that line discipline. For compatibility
|
|
purposes, a line discipline number can be passed in
|
|
.Fa no ,
|
|
but for new disciplines this should be set to
|
|
.Dv -1 .
|
|
.It Fn ttyldisc_lookup
|
|
Look up a line discipline by
|
|
.Fa name .
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
is returned if it can not be found.
|
|
.It Fn ttyldisc_remove
|
|
Remove a line discipline called
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
and return a pointer to it. If the discipline cannot
|
|
be found or removed
|
|
.Fn ttyldisc_remove
|
|
will return
|
|
.Dv NULL .
