NAME

     bus_child_present — ask the bus driver to see if this device is still really present

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/bus.h>

     #include <machine/bus.h>
     #include <sys/rman.h>
     #include <machine/resource.h>

     int
     bus_child_present(device_t dev);

DESCRIPTION

     The bus_child_present() function requests that the parent device driver of dev check to see
     if the hardware represented by dev is still physically accessible at this time.  While the
     notion of accessible varies from bus to bus, generally hardware that is not accessible
     cannot be accessed via the bus_space*() methods that would otherwise be used to access the
     device.

     This does not ask the question “does this device have children?” which can better be
     answered by device_get_children(9).

RETURN VALUES

     A zero return value indicates that the device is not present in the system.  A non-zero
     return value indicates that the device is present in the system, or that the state of the
     device cannot be determined.

EXAMPLES

     This is some example code.  It only calls stop when the dc(4) device is actually present.

           device_t dev;
           dc_softc *sc;

           sc = device_get_softc(dev);
           if (bus_child_present(dev))
                   dc_stop(sc);
