Method Detail

IOMasterPort

int IOMasterPort(int bootstrapPort,
                 IntByReference port)

Returns the mach port used to initiate communication with IOKit.

Parameters:

bootstrapPort - Pass 0 for the default.

port - A pointer to the master port is returned. Multiple calls to IOMasterPort will not result in leaking ports (each call to IOMasterPort adds another send right to the port) but it is considered good programming practice to deallocate the port when you are finished with it using SystemB.mach_port_deallocate(int, int).

Returns:

0 if successful, otherwise a kern_return_t error code.

IOServiceMatching

CoreFoundation.CFMutableDictionaryRef IOServiceMatching(java.lang.String name)

Create a matching dictionary that specifies an IOService class match.

Parameters:

name - The class name. Class matching is successful on IOServices of this class or any subclass.

Returns:

The matching dictionary created, is returned on success, or null on failure.

The dictionary is commonly passed to IOServiceGetMatchingServices(int, com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFDictionaryRef, com.sun.jna.ptr.PointerByReference) which will consume a reference, otherwise it should be released with CoreFoundation.CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef) by the caller.

IOServiceNameMatching

CoreFoundation.CFMutableDictionaryRef IOServiceNameMatching(java.lang.String name)

Create a matching dictionary that specifies an IOService name match.

Parameters:

name - The IOService name.

Returns:

The matching dictionary created, is returned on success, or null on failure.

The dictionary is commonly passed to IOServiceGetMatchingServices(int, com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFDictionaryRef, com.sun.jna.ptr.PointerByReference) which will consume a reference, otherwise it should be released with CoreFoundation.CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef) by the caller.

IOBSDNameMatching

CoreFoundation.CFMutableDictionaryRef IOBSDNameMatching(int masterPort,
                                                        int options,

Returns:

The matching dictionary created, is returned on success, or null on failure.

The dictionary is commonly passed to IOServiceGetMatchingServices(int, com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFDictionaryRef, com.sun.jna.ptr.PointerByReference) which will consume a reference, otherwise it should be released with CoreFoundation.CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef) by the caller.
