+.Dt KNOTE 9
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm knote ,
+.Nm KNOTE
+.Nd raise kernel event
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/event.h
+.Ft void
+.Fn knote "struct klist *list" "long hint"
+.Fn KNOTE "struct klist *list" "long hint"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn knote
+function provides a hook into the kqueue kernel event notification
+mechanism to allow sections of the kernel to raise a kernel event
+in the form of a
+.Sq knote ,
+which is a
+.Fa struct knote
+as defined in
+.Aq Pa sys/event.h .
+.Pp
+.Fn knote
+takes a singly linked
+.Fa list
+of knotes, along with with a
+.Fa hint
+(which is passed to the appropriate filter routine).
+.Fn knote
+then walks the
+.Fa list
+making calls to the filter routine for each knote.
+As each knote contains a reference to the data structure that it is
+attached to, the filter may choose to examine the data structure in
+deciding whether an event should be reported.
+The
+.Fa hint
+is used to pass in additional information, which may not be present in
+the data structure that the filter examines.
+.Pp
+If the filter decides that the event should be returned, it returns a
+non-zero value and
+.Fn knote
+links the knote onto the tail end of the active list in the
+corresponding kqueue for the application to retrieve.
+If the knote is already on the active list, no action is taken, but the
+call to the filter occurs in order to provide an opportunity for the
+filter to record the activity.
+.Pp
+.Fn knote
+must not be called from interrupt contexts running at an interrupt
+priority level higher than
+.Fn splsched .
+.Pp
+.Fn KNOTE
+is a macro that calls
+.Fn knote list hint
+if
+.Fa list
+is not empty.
