 IOService *client,
 IOOptionBitsoptions );

    The client of the terminated provider.

    Options originally passed to terminate, plus kIOServiceRecursing.

result of the terminate request on the client.

Overview

When an IOService object is made inactive the default behavior is to also make any of its clients that have it as their only provider inactive, in this way recursing the termination up the driver stack. This method allows a terminated IOService object to override this behavior. Note the client may also override this behavior by overriding its terminate method.
