DCMD_DUMPER_NOTIFYEVENT

Arguments to devctl():

Description:

This command registers a program for dump notifications.

Input:

A struct sigevent that's filled in to indicate what type of notification you want.

Output:

None.

Example:

 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/dcmd_dumper.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <devctl.h>
#include <sys/neutrino.h>
