Kernel Event Notification (KEN)
Kernel Event Notification (KEN) is a kernel service providing the ability for one
kernel subsystem to notify other kernel subsystems of important events and is
introduced in HP-UX 11i v1.6. The KEN service is intended to provide an event
notification mechanism for use within the kernel. With KEN, subsystems have the
capability of registering handlers that are invoked upon the occurrence of a KEN event.
These handlers are registered with an order number that specifies the sequence in which
the handler is called.
