NAME

nullopdummy functions

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/systm.h>

int
nullop(void *v);

void
voidop(void);

int
enodev(void);

int
enxio(void);

int
enoioctl(void);

int
enosys(void);

int
eopnotsupp(void);

DESCRIPTION

The nullop() function provides a generic “null operation”. It always returns the value 0. The voidop() function takes no arguments and does nothing.

The enodev(), enxio(), enoioctl(), enosys(), and eopnotsupp() functions always fail, returning ENODEV, ENXIO, ENOTTY, ENOSYS, and EOPNOTSUPP, respectively.

EXAMPLES

The following example demonstrates a case where nullop() may be useful:

uint64_t xc; 
 
... 
 
xc = xc_broadcast(0, (xcfunc_t)nullop, NULL, NULL); 
xc_wait(xc);
