Title: Message
Hi guys,
 
Can anyone please explain to me the significance of proc_handler and ctl_handler in sysctl?
Am I right to say that, if proc_handler is defined, the user will find an entry in /proc/sys for runtime manipulation. ctl_handler on the other hand is called upon, when the user calls sysctl(....) from a program.
Another question I have is that can I used a user-defined structure (other than int) for the data to be used in proc_handler?
 
 
Thanks for any advices!
Jon.
