759 * Requests data from a nonlocalized resource file in a kext bundle on disk.
761 * @param kextIdentifier The CFBundleIdentifier of the kext
762 * from which to read the file.
763 * @param resourceName The name of the resource file to read.
764 * @param callback A pointer to a callback function; the address
765 * must be within a currently-loaded kext.
766 * @param context A pointer to arbitrary run-time data
767 * that will be passed to the callback
768 * when it is invoked. May be <code>NULL</code>.
769 * @param requestTagOut If non-<code>NULL</code>,
770 * filled on success with a tag identifying the
772 * (or on failure with <code>@link kOSKextRequestTagInvalid

779 * <code>@link kOSReturnSuccess kOSReturnSuccess@/link</code>
780 * if the request is successfully queued.
781 * <code>@link kOSKextReturnInvalidArgument kOSKextReturnInvalidArgument@/link</code>
782 * if <code>kextIdentifier</code> or <code>resourceName</code> or if
783 * <code>callback</code> is not an address within a loaded kext executable.
784 * <code>@link kOSKextReturnStopping kOSKextReturnStopping@/link</code>
785 * if an unload attempt is being made
786 * on the kext containing <code>callback</code>.
787 * Other <code>OSKextReturn...</code> errors are possible.
790 * This function queues an asynchronous request to the user-space kext daemon
791 * <code>@link //apple_ref/doc/man/8/kextd kextd(8)@/link</code>;
792 * requests for resources early in system startup
793 * will not be fulfilled until that daemon starts.
794 * Requests made by a kext while that kext is loading
795 * (specifically in the kext's module start routine)
796 * will not be fulfilled until after the start routine returns and
797 * the kext is completely loaded.
798 * Kexts requesting resources should be sure to perform appropriate locking
799 * in the callback function.
801 * Kext resources are stored in the kext's on-disk bundle under the
802 * Resources subdirectory.
803 * See {@linkdoc //apple_ref/doc/uid/10000123i Bundle Programming Guide}
804 * for an overview of bundle structure.
805 * The localization context of the kext daemon
806 * (namely that of the superuser)
807 * will be used in retrieving resources;
808 * kext resources intended for use in the kernel
809 * should generally not be localized.
811 * <code>callback</code> is guaranteed to be invoked except when:
813 * <li>@link OSKextCancelRequest <code>OSKextCancelRequest</code>@/link
814 * is used to cancel the request.
815 * In this case the kext gets the <code>context</code> pointer
816 * and can clean it up.</li>
817 * <li>The request is made during a kext's module start routine
818 * and the start routine returns an error.
819 * In this case, callbacks cannot be safely invoked, so
820 * the kext should clean up all request contexts
821 * when returning the error from the start routine.</li>
824 * Kexts with pending requests are not subject to autounload,
825 * but requests are subject to timeout after a few minutes.
826 * If that amount of time passes with no response from user space,
827 * <code>callback</code> is invoked with a result of.
828 * <code>@link kOSKextReturnTimeout kOSKextReturnTimeout@/link</code>.
830 * Kexts that are explicitly unloaded have all pending request callbacks
831 * invoked with a result of
832 * <code>@link kOSKextReturnStopping kOSKextReturnStopping@/link</code>.
833 * The kext must handle these callbacks,
834 * even if its stop routine will prevent unloading.
835 * If the kext does prevent unloading, it can reissue resource requests
836 * outside of the stop function.
