.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR
method associates a description with an active interrupt handler.
The
.Fa cookie
parameter must be the value returned by a successful call to
.Xr BUS_SETUP_INTR 9
for the interrupt
.Fa irq .
.Pp
The
.Fn bus_describe_intr
function is a simple wrapper around
.Fn BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR .
As a convenience,
.Fn bus_describe_intr
allows the caller to use
.Xr printf 9
style formatting to build the description string using
.Fa fmt .
.Pp
When an interrupt handler is established by
.Xr BUS_SETUP_INTR 9 ,
the handler is named after the device the handler is established for.
This name is then used in various places such as interrupt statistics
displayed by
.Xr systat 1
and
.Xr vmstat 8 .
For devices that use a single interrupt,
the device name is sufficiently unique to identify the interrupt handler.
However, for devices that use multiple interrupts it can be useful to
distinguish the interrupt handlers.
When a description is set for an active interrupt handler,
a colon followed by the description is appended to the device name to form
the interrupt handler name.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
Zero is returned on success, otherwise an appropriate error is returned.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr BUS_SETUP_INTR 9 ,
.Xr systat 1 ,
.Xr vmstat 8 ,
.Xr device 9 ,
.Xr printf 9
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Fn BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR
method and
.Fn bus_describe_intr
functions first appeared in
.Fx 8.1 .
.Sh BUGS
It is not currently possible to remove a description from an active interrupt
handler.
