NAME
wsmouse, wsmouse_input, wsmousedevprint - wscons mouse support
SYNOPSIS
#include <dev/wscons/wsconsio.h> #include <dev/wscons/wsmousevar.h> void wsmouse_input(struct device *msdev, u_int btns, int x, int y, int z, u_int flags); int wsmousedevprint(void *aux, const char *pnp);
DESCRIPTION
The wsmouse module is a component of the wscons(9) framework to provide machine-independent mouse support. Most of the support is provided by the wsmouse(4) device driver, which must be a child of the hardware device driver.
DATA TYPES
Mouse drivers providing support for wscons pointer devices will make use of the following data types: struct wsmouse_accessops A structure used to specify the mouse access functions. All pointer devices must provide this structure and pass it to the wsmouse(4) child device. It has the following members: int (*enable)(void *); int (*ioctl)(void *v, u_long cmd, caddr_t data, int flag, struct proc *p); void (*disable)(void *); The enable member defines the function to be called to enable monitoring pointer movements and passing these events to wscons. The disable member defines the function to disable movement events. The ioctl member defines the function to be called to perform mouse-specific ioctl calls. There is a void * cookie provided by the mouse driver associated with these functions, which is passed to them when they are invoked. struct wsmouse_attach_args A structure used to attach the wsmouse(4) child device. It has the following members: const struct wsmouse_accessops *accessops; void *accesscookie;
FUNCTIONS
wsmouse_input(msdev, btns, x, y, z, flags) Callback from the mouse driver to the wsmouse interface driver. The argument btns specifies the current button configuration. The pointer coordinate is specified by the x, y, z tuple. The flags argument specify whether the pointer device and the mea- surement is in relative or absolute mode. Valid values for flags are: WSMOUSE_INPUT_DELTA Relative mode. WSMOUSE_INPUT_ABSOLUTE_X Absolute mode in x-direction. WSMOUSE_INPUT_ABSOLUTE_Y Absolute mode in y-direction. WSMOUSE_INPUT_ABSOLUTE_Z Absolute mode in z-direction. wsmousedevprint(aux, pnp) The default wsmouse printing routine used by config_found(). (see autoconf(9)).
AUTOCONFIGURATION
Mouse drivers which want to use the wsmouse module must be a parent to the wsmouse(4) device and provide an attachment interface. To attach the wsmouse(4) device, the mouse driver must allocate and populate a wsmouse_attach_args structure with the supported operations and callbacks and call config_found() to perform the attach (see autoconf(9)).
OPERATION
When a mouse-movement event is received, the device driver must perform any necessary movement decoding to wscons events and pass the events to wscons via wsmouse_input(). The wscons framework calls back into the hardware driver by invoking the functions that are specified in the accessops structure. The enable() and disable() functions are relatively simple and self-explanatory. The ioctl() function is called by the wscons interface to perform mouse-spe- cific ioctl operations (see ioctl(2)). The argument cmd to the ioctl() function specifies the specific command to perform using the data data. Valid commands are listed in sys/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h.
CODE REFERENCES
This section describes places within the NetBSD source tree where actual code implementing or using the machine-independent wscons subsystem can be found. All pathnames are relative to /usr/src. The wscons subsystem is implemented within the directory sys/dev/wscons. The wsmouse module itself is implement within the file sys/dev/wscons/wsmouse.c. ioctl(2) operations are listed in sys/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h.
