Currently, functioning of these functions is restricted to the context of the .Fa cdevsw switch method calls performed as .Xr devfs 5 operations in response to system calls that use filedescriptors. .Pp The .Fn devfs_set_cdevpriv function associates a data pointed by .Va priv with current calling context (filedescriptor). The data may be retrieved later, possibly from another call performed on this filedescriptor, by the .Fn devfs_get_cdevpriv function. The .Fn devfs_clear_cdevpriv disassociates previously attached data from context. Immediately after .Fn devfs_clear_cdevpriv finished operating, the .Va dtr callback is called, with private data supplied .Va data argument. The .Fn devfs_clear_cdevpriv function will be also be called if the open callback function returns an error code. .Pp On the last filedescriptor close, system automatically arranges .Fn devfs_clear_cdevpriv call. .Pp If successful, the functions return 0. .Pp The function .Fn devfs_set_cdevpriv returns the following values on error: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er ENOENT The current call is not associated with some filedescriptor. .It Bq Er EBUSY The private driver data is already associated with current filedescriptor. .El .Pp The function .Fn devfs_get_cdevpriv returns the following values on error: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er EBADF The current call is not associated with some filedescriptor. .It Bq Er ENOENT The private driver data was not associated with current filedescriptor, or .Fn devfs_clear_cdevpriv was called. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr close 2 , .Xr open 2 , .Xr devfs 5 .Sh HISTORY The .Fn devfs_cdevpriv family of functions first appeared in .Fx 7.1 .
