+<p>A driver can export its API to be used by other Kernel code by
+using IMPORT_C in the declaration and EXPORT_C in the definition.
+When the driver is built, these functions are exported to a <filepath>.def</filepath> file. The <filepath>.def</filepath> file is specific
+to the platform to which the driver is built. </p>

+class DExController: public DBase

+// Client interface API

+<p>Kernel extensions can also provide information to user programs
+by setting attributes that can be read through the system HAL (Hardware
+Abstration Layer) API. See<xref href="GUID-124AC7EE-E227-5358-A755-628FFE257250.dita"> Handler Implementation</xref> for more information on this. </p>
