# 140140 12-Jan-2005 ru

Scheduled mdoc(7) sweep.


# 132117 13-Jul-2004 phk

Give kldunload a -f(orce) argument.

Add a MOD_QUIESCE event for modules. This should return error (EBUSY)
of the module is in use.

MOD_UNLOAD should now only fail if it is impossible (as opposed to
inconvenient) to unload the module. Valid reasons are memory references
into the module which cannot be tracked down and eliminated.

When kldunloading, we abandon if MOD_UNLOAD fails, and if -force is
not given, MOD_QUIESCE failing will also prevent the unload.

For backwards compatibility, we treat EOPNOTSUPP from MOD_QUIESCE as
success.

Document that modules should return EOPNOTSUPP for unknown events.

# 74745 24-Mar-2001 alex

Sort includes and remove bogus typedef of modeventhand_t, since this
isn't used in the example any more.

Pointed out by: bde


# 74694 23-Mar-2001 alex

- DECLARE_MODULE needs SYSINIT -> include sys/kernel.h
- modeventhand_t declares a pointer to a function, so it can't be
used as a forward declaration (d'oh!)
