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

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

164 from a string identifying a kext or vendor, in the form of a bundle
165 identifier, to a vendor code.
