Return status ENXIO / ESRCH in kern_drvctl.c



While browsing the code for other stuff, I ran into what appears to be an inconsistency in drvctl(4).

In most cases, when the device specified cannot be found, we return ENXIO - Device not configured.

But in routine drvctl_command_get_properties(), if the device is not found, we return ESRCH - No such process. (This is in file sys/kern/kern_drvctl.c rev 1.32 at line 462)

It seems to me that this is incorrect, and we should return ENXIO here.


As a side note, it would be nice if we had a drvctl(4) man page.   :)
