Class IOKit.IOObject
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- NativeMapped
- Direct Known Subclasses:
- IOKit.IOIterator,- IOKit.IORegistryEntry
- Enclosing interface:
- IOKit
 IOKitLib represents IOKit objects outside the kernel with the types
 io_object_t, io_registry_entry_t, io_service_t, and io_connect_t. Function
 names usually begin with the type of object they are compatible with - e.g.,
 IOObjectRelease can be used with any io_object_t. Inside the kernel, the c++
 class hierarchy allows the subclasses of each object type to receive the same
 requests from user level clients, for example in the kernel, IOService is a
 subclass of IORegistryEntry, which means any of the IORegistryEntryXXX
 functions in IOKitLib may be used with io_service_t's as well as
 io_registry_t's. There are functions available to introspect the class of the
 kernel object which any io_object_t et al. represents. IOKit objects returned
 by all functions should be released with IOKit.IOObjectRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.IOKit.IOObject).
