/proc files aren't 'real' files.. when they are read they call a kernel function to generate the output you see from cat, vi, etc. some of them can be written, but only if there is an accompanying write function. otherwise, when you try and write to the 'file' the data will disappear into the ether since there is no callback to catch the data.. if you feel it necessary, you can try and write a write handler for the proc file in question... read all about it in /usr/src/linux/fs/proc/*.c -matt cyb wrote: > > i want to change some > interrupt setting written under > /proc directory. the files seems > to be read only so i cannot > edit any of them. > > is there an interface to change the settings? > > i tried removing the read flag > but it won't do. > please help. > - > Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. > Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ > IRC Channel: irc.openprojects.net / #kernelnewbies > Web Page: http://www.kernelnewbies.org/ - Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
