Detailed Description

struct watchdog_ops - The watchdog-devices operations

: The module owner. : The routine for starting the watchdog device. : The routine for stopping the watchdog device. : The routine that sends a keepalive ping to the watchdog device. : The routine that shows the status of the watchdog device. :The routine for setting the watchdog devices timeout value. :The routine that get's the time that's left before a reset. The ref operation for dyn. allocated watchdog_device structs : The unref operation for dyn. allocated watchdog_device structs : The routines that handles extra ioctl calls.

The watchdog_ops structure contains a list of low-level operations that control a watchdog device. It also contains the module that owns these operations. The start and stop function are mandatory, all other functions are optonal.
