# handleStop

Quiesce the hardware and stop the driver.

## Declaration

```occ
virtual void handleStop(
 IOService *provider ); 
```

## Parameters

- `provider`: The provider argument passed to stop().

## Overview

Overview IOHIDEventService will call this method from stop() to signal that the hardware should be quiesced and the driver stopped. A subclass that overrides this method should end its implementation by calling the version in super.
