IORegistryEntries
IORegistryEntries are fundamental components within the I/O Registry, a hierarchical database used by the operating system to represent and manage hardware devices and their connections. Predominantly used in macOS and related Apple systems, the I/O Registry provides a dynamic map of all connected hardware, driver components, and their relationships.
An IORegistryEntry represents a node within this hierarchy, encapsulating information about a particular hardware device, driver,
The management and manipulation of IORegistryEntries are performed through various kernel and user-space APIs, notably within
Because IORegistryEntries are central to hardware management, they play a critical role in system stability and
In summary, IORegistryEntries are integral elements of the I/O Registry, serving as nodes that represent hardware
