IORegistryEntrySetCFProperty(_:_:_:)
Set a CF container based property in a registry entry.
Declaration
func IORegistryEntrySetCFProperty(_ entry: io_registry_entry_t, _ propertyName: CFString!, _ property: CFTypeRef!) -> kern_return_tParameters
- entry:
The registry entry whose property to set.
- propertyName:
The name of the property as a CFString.
- property:
A CF container - should consist of objects which are understood by IOKit - these are currently : CFDictionary, CFArray, CFSet, CFString, CFData, CFNumber, CFBoolean, and are passed in the kernel as the corresponding OSDictionary etc. objects.
Return Value
A kern_return_t error code returned by the object.
Discussion
This is a generic method to pass a CF container as a property to an object in the registry. Setting properties in a registry entry is not generally supported, it is more common to support IOConnectSetCFProperty for connection based property setting. The property is interpreted by the object.
