104 @discussion This structure is prepended to all kernel events. This
105 structure is used to determine the format of the remainder of
106 the kernel event. This structure will appear on all messages
107 received on a kernel event socket. To post a kernel event, a
108 slightly different structure is used.
109 @field total_size Total size of the kernel event message including the
111 @field vendor_code The vendor code indicates which vendor generated the
112 kernel event. This gives every vendor a unique set of classes
113 and subclasses to use. Use the SIOCGKEVVENDOR ioctl to look up
114 vendor codes for vendors other than Apple. Apple uses
116 @field kev_class The class of the kernel event.
117 @field kev_subclass The subclass of the kernel event.

121 depend on the vendor_code, kev_class, kev_subclass, and
