Entry Point start()

The pfxstart() entry point is called at system startup, and whenever a loadable driver is loaded. It is called after pfxedtinit() and pfxinit(), but before any other entry point such as pfxopen(). The pfxstart() entry point receives no arguments; its prototype is simply

void pfxstart(void);

The pfxstart() entry point is a suitable place to allocate a poll-head structure using phalloc(), as discussed in "Use and Operation of poll(2)".
