BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR, bus_describe_intr — associate a description with an active interrupt handler

       It is not currently possible to remove a description from an active interrupt handler.

Debian                                          December 9, 2015                            BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR(9)

       The  BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR()  method  associates  a description with an active interrupt handler.  The cookie
       parameter must be the value returned by a successful call to BUS_SETUP_INTR(9) for the interrupt irq.

       The bus_describe_intr() function is a simple  wrapper  around  BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR().   As  a  convenience,
       bus_describe_intr()  allows  the caller to use printf(9) style formatting to build the description string
       using fmt.

       When an interrupt handler is established by BUS_SETUP_INTR(9), the handler is named after the device  the
       handler  is  established  for.   This  name  is  then used in various places such as interrupt statistics
       displayed by systat(1) and vmstat(8).  For devices that use  a  single  interrupt,  the  device  name  is
       sufficiently unique to identify the interrupt handler.  However, for devices that use multiple interrupts
       it  can  be  useful  to  distinguish  the  interrupt  handlers.   When a description is set for an active
       interrupt handler, a colon followed by the description is  appended  to  the  device  name  to  form  the
       interrupt handler name.

       The BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR() method and bus_describe_intr() functions first appeared in FreeBSD 8.1.

       Zero is returned on success, otherwise an appropriate error is returned.
