Function Documentation

◆ devfs_register()

int devfs_register ( devfs_t node)

The node will immediately become available to vfs_open, if DevFS is already mounted somewhere.

If DevFS is not mounted, the node will be registered and will become available to vfs_open when DevFS is mounted.

Parameters

Returns
0 on success
<0 on error

◆ devfs_unregister()

int devfs_unregister ( devfs_t node)

Remove a registration from DevFS.

The node will no longer be available to vfs_open, but any already opened FDs will remain open.

Parameters

Returns
0 on success
<0 on error
