phys_displays Structure

Each display driver allocates and initializes a phys_displays structure during configuration. The phys_displays structure is defined in the /usr/include/sys/display.h file. The display driver stores a pointer to the phys_displays structure in the display driver's devsw structure, which is then added to the device switch table. A pointer to the display driver's vtmstruct structure is initialized in the phys_displays structure when the display driver's vttact routine is called. The phys_displays structure is defined as follows:

Note
Micro Channel machines only run AIX 5.1 or earlier.
