Description bryan 2000-03-31 06:50:00 UTC

/usr/share/examples/kld/cdev is out of date and will no longer
compile under FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE.

Fix: this is my first experience with KLDs, so i used the vn
device as an example.  apologies if that was a poor choice
of example.. i don't know any better yet. ;)

see patch below or at:
  http://www.barmetta.com/freebsd/examples-kld-cdev.patch
How-To-Repeat: 
cd /usr/share/examples/kld/cdev
make

It was a poor choice :-).

vn gives many bad examples, in particular its use of an event handler,
cdevsw_add() and cdevsw_remove().  Event handlers are not necessary 
for at least most drivers (the newbus framework is more convenient),
and cdevsw_add() and cdevsw_remove() are deprecated (passing the devsw
via make_dev() should be sufficient).

The joy driver is a much better example of a simple driver.
