Docking stations are units that, for example, laptops may attach to in order to expose a number of additional hardware devices. The .Nm driver handles docking and undocking machines to gracefully detach external devices.
p When docking and undocking, an event is passed to the driver which is then reacted upon. For undocking, this event is usually triggered by pressing a button on the docking station or using a special keyboard combination; for docking, the machine usually just has to be inserted.
p The .Nm driver sets up a sensor that indicates docking state that can be used with .Xr sensorsd 8 to perform events when docking or undocking. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr acpi 4 , .Xr intro 4 , .Xr sensorsd 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver first appeared in .Ox 4.1 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit The .Nm driver was written by .An Michael Knudsen Aq Mt mk@openbsd.org .
