HAL Handler Tutorial</title><shortdesc>User-side programs can get and set a number of system attributes

about power using the <codeph>HAL</codeph> interface. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>The base port must provide and register a HAL handler to handle these attributes. </p>

<p>The power attributes are in the <xref href="GUID-FB85CE22-DDFF-37E6-A6CE-7F70A994D371.dita"><apiname>EHalGroupPower</apiname></xref> HAL group.

The handler provides a kernel-side implementation to deal with the user-side

calls to <xref href="GUID-BD00E7FC-C234-3111-87A5-10F79EB0F2B8.dita#GUID-BD00E7FC-C234-3111-87A5-10F79EB0F2B8/GUID-573C49D6-7763-37AE-B2B2-4C8FB1327E21"><apiname>HAL::Get()</apiname></xref> and <xref href="GUID-BD00E7FC-C234-3111-87A5-10F79EB0F2B8.dita#GUID-BD00E7FC-C234-3111-87A5-10F79EB0F2B8/GUID-9454F1B2-D525-3D6D-A872-C6457CACD4FC"><apiname>HAL::Set()</apiname></xref> when

<p>A typical application will have a user side monitor that periodically calls <xref href="GUID-BD00E7FC-C234-3111-87A5-10F79EB0F2B8.dita#GUID-BD00E7FC-C234-3111-87A5-10F79EB0F2B8/GUID-573C49D6-7763-37AE-B2B2-4C8FB1327E21"><apiname>HAL::Get()</apiname></xref>,

passing <xref href="GUID-8BE90160-2C60-3582-82C8-4A108C7C0317.dita#GUID-8BE90160-2C60-3582-82C8-4A108C7C0317/GUID-C7DDA0E9-5882-3988-8747-AA790AC31E05"><apiname>HALData::EPowerBatteryStatus</apiname></xref> to get the charge

level of the battery. </p>

<p>Typically, the handler is implemented as part of a <xref href="GUID-3E6D44FE-787B-3D9E-899C-8BAA7DDCBC5C.dita"><apiname>DPowerHal</apiname></xref> derived

object, which is created by the entry point of the base port power kernel

extension. The object is, therefore, part of the power controller kernel extension. </p>

object constructor must register with the power manager by calling <codeph>Register()</codeph>. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-5E2558D9-DB44-554A-8A18-33D161E568D2"><p>If there is some power-related

data that can be accessed via the HAL component and that persists through

power cycles (On/Off), it should be initialised here. Typically the <codeph>TOnOffInfoV1</codeph> data

member of the Variant-specific <codeph>TActualMachineConfig</codeph> (usually

found in <filepath>mconf.h</filepath> file under the platform directory) contains

some of that persistent data. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-07E132AF-0F18-5578-A74C-C87618F98678"><p>The handler itself is

the function <codeph>PowerHalFunction()</codeph>, and must be fully implemented

in the base port. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-EEB6EB2D-8E99-5EFF-B2C6-4C73E6D39852"><p>The kernel hooks up

the handler to service the HAL functions at boot-time. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-6C2DE544-5447-5786-8F0C-A065E0C1A59A"><p>The power Hal functions

that the Handler can handle are enumerated by <xref href="GUID-105D7978-FFAD-3868-BE6A-8A9746A82D70.dita"><apiname>TPowerHalFunction</apiname></xref>.

Not all of these functions need to be handled. If not handled, the kernel

returns <codeph>KErrNotSupported</codeph> when the HAL function is called

with the relevant parameter. It is left to the base port to decide which functions

are relevant. </p> </li>
