shutdown - shutdown the driver
|
|
|
|
void shutdown( int how );
|
|
|
|
This function shuts down the driver in a controlled fashion (as opposed to
|
|
how a crash would shut it down). The 'how' argument specifes what integer
|
|
value that driver should pass to exit(). The convention is to pass 'how'
|
|
as -1 when the script that restarts the driver should die as well. Thus
|
|
a reboot command would use shutdown() while a halt command would use
|
|
shutdown(-1). The script must explicitly check the return value to see
|
|
if it is -1 if you wish to use this convention. Obviously, shutdown()
|
|
is a sensitive function and should be secured. As with exec(), the way
|
|
to make it secure is to add a simul_efun of the same name which does
|
|
the appropriate security checks. Be sure to set valid_override() up
|
|
(in master.c) to protect against efun::shutdown().
