WSBELL(9) | Kernel Developer's Manual | WSBELL(9)

# NAME

`wsbell`, `wsbelldevprint` —
wscons system bell support

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <dev/wscons/wsconsio.h>`
`#include <dev/wscons/wsbellvar.h>`

int
`wsbelldevprint`(void *aux, const char *pnp);

# DESCRIPTION

The `wsbell` module is a component of the wscons(9) framework, providing keyboard-independent bell support. All of the support is provided by the wsbell(4) device driver, which must be a child of the hardware device driver. The only hardware device drivers that can provide a `wsbell` facility are speaker(4) devices.

# DATA TYPES

Speaker drivers providing support for wscons bell devices will make use of the following data types:

struct wsbelldev_attach_args
  A structure used to attach the wsbell(4) child device. It has the following members:

      	void *accesscookie;

# FUNCTIONS

`wsbelldevprint`(aux, pnp)
  The default wsbell printing routine used by `config_found`(). (see autoconf(9)).

# AUTOCONFIGURATION

Speaker drivers which want to use the wsbell module must be a parent to the wsbell(4) device and provide an attachment interface. To attach the wsbell(4) device, the speaker driver must allocate and populate a wsbelldev_attach_args structure with a pointer to the parent's device structure as an access cookie and call `config_found`() to perform the attach (see autoconf(9)).

# OPERATION

When a bell event is received on a wsdisplay(4) device the system bell is sounded.

# CODE REFERENCES

The wscons subsystem is implemented within the directory sys/dev/wscons. The `wsbell` module itself is implement within the file sys/dev/wscons/wsbell.c. ioctl(2) operations are listed in sys/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h.
