Dear Hackers, I would like to get some feedback on the idea i have. Basically i would like Netgraph system to send kevents whenever something happens. For example: 1) node X of type Y was created/destroyed 2) hook X was connected/disconnected to/from node Y 3) Data passed via hook X 4) Node X got message Y etc. Right now i can think of two scenarios where this could be useful. 1) Device driver in Netgraph node. When hardware is activated new Netgraph node is created and new kevent sent. devd (or something like devd) listens for these events and does something (loads firmware, activates device, etc.) 2) ngdump - "tcpdump" for Netgraph. Dumps everything that happens in the Netgraph. what do you think? thanks, max To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
