NAME

       device_enable, device_disable, device_is_enabled — manipulate device enabled flag

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/param.h>
       #include <sys/bus.h>

       void
       device_enable(device_t dev);

       void
       device_disable(device_t dev);

       int
       device_is_enabled(device_t dev);

DESCRIPTION

       Each  device  has  an enabled flag associated with it.  A device is enabled by default when it is created
       but may be disabled (for instance to prevent a destructive or time consuming probe attempt).  To  disable
       a  device, call device_disable(), to re-enable it, call device_enable() and to test to see if a device is
       enabled, call device_is_enabled().
