98 @struct kern_event_msg
99 @discussion This structure is prepended to all kernel events. This structure
100 is used to determine the format of the remainder of the kernel event.
101 This structure will appear on all messages received on a kernel event
102 socket. To post a kernel event, a slightly different structure is used.
103 @field total_size Total size of the kernel event message including the
105 @field vendor_code The vendor code indicates which vendor generated the
106 kernel event. This gives every vendor a unique set of classes and
107 subclasses to use. Use the SIOCGKEVVENDOR ioctl to look up vendor codes
108 for vendors other than Apple. Apple uses KEV_VENDOR_APPLE.
109 @field kev_class The class of the kernel event.
110 @field kev_subclass The subclass of the kernel event.
111 @field id Monotonically increasing value.
112 @field event_code The event code.
113 @field event_data Any additional data about this event. Format will depend
114 on the vendor_code, kev_class, kev_subclass, and event_code. The length
115 of the event_data can be determined using total_size -
118 struct kern_event_msg

129 @defined KEV_MSG_HEADER_SIZE
130 @discussion Size of the header portion of the kern_event_msg structure. This
131 accounts for everything right up to event_data. The size of the data can
132 be found by subtracting KEV_MSG_HEADER_SIZE from the total size from the
135 #define KEV_MSG_HEADER_SIZE (offsetof(struct kern_event_msg, event_data[0]))
139 @discussion This structure is used with the SIOCSKEVFILT and SIOCGKEVFILT to
140 set and get the control filter setting for a kernel control socket.
141 @field total_size Total size of the kernel event message including the
143 @field vendor_code All kernel events that don't match this vendor code will
144 be ignored. KEV_ANY_VENDOR can be used to receive kernel events with any

147 ignored. KEV_ANY_CLASS can be used to receive kernel events with any
