202 
which they appear in the table. Typically a software-only component
203 
such as a TCP/IP stack would use a small number for the priority, so
204 
that it appears near the start of the table, whereas a device driver
205 
would be nearer the back of the table. When switching to a
206 
lower-powered mode the power management package will iterate through
207 
this table from front to back, thus ensuring that for example the
208 
TCP/IP stack gets a chance to shut down before the underlying ethernet
209 
or other hardware that the stack depends on. Similarly when switching
210 
to a higher-powered mode the power management package will iterate
211 
through this table from back to front.</P

302 
CLASS="FUNCTION"
303

315 
some of the controllers will have been updated to the desired global

><P
335 
>In some scenarios the power management package will run completely
336 
automated, and there is no need to identify individual power
337 
controllers. Any form of identification such as a string
338 
description would serve no purpose, but would still consume memory in
339 
the final system. In other scenarios it may be very desirable to
340 
provide some means of identification. For example, while still
341 
debugging it may be useful to see a simple string when printing the
342 
contents of a power controller structure. Alternatively, if the
343 
application is expected to provide some sort of user interface that
344 
gives control over which parts of the system are enabled or disabled,
345 
a string identifier for each controller would be useful. To cope with
346 
these scenarios the power management package provides a configuration
347 
option <TT
348 
CLASS="VARNAME"
349 
>CYGIMP_POWER_PROVIDE_STRINGS</TT
350 
>. When enabled,
351 
each power controller will contain a pointer to a constant string
352 
which can be accessed via a function
353 
<TT
354 
CLASS="FUNCTION"
355 
>power_get_controller_id</TT
356 
>. When disabled the system
357 
will not contain these strings, and the function will not be provided.
358 
The following code illustrates how to use this function.</P
