Tasks should be initialised with .Xr task_add 9 or .Xr TASK_INITIALIZER 9 before being used with the following functions. .Pp The .Fn if_addrhook_add function registers the task .Fa t on the .Fa ifp interface. The event will fire every time an IPv4 or IPv6 address change occurs on the interface until explicitly removed with .Fn if_addrhook_del . .Pp The .Fn if_addrhook_del function removes the task .Fa t from the .Fa ifp interface. .Pp The .Fn if_detachhook_add function registers the task .Fa t on the .Fa ifp interface. The event will fire when the interface is being destroyed. .Pp The .Fn if_detachhook_del function removes the task .Fa t from the .Fa ifp interface. .Pp The .Fn if_linkstatehook_add function registers the task .Fa t on the .Fa ifp interface. The event will fire for every link state change, or when the interface is brought up or down, until explicitly removed with .Fn if_linkstatehook_del . .Pp The .Fn if_linkstatehook_del function removes the task .Fa t from the .Fa ifp interface. .Sh CONTEXT .Fn if_addrhook_add , .Fn if_addrhook_del , .\" .Fn if_addrhooks_run , .Fn if_detachhook_add , .Fn if_detachhook_del , .Fn if_linkstatehook_add , and .Fn if_linkstatehook_del can be called during autoconf, from process context, or from interrupt context. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr task_set 9
