Kernel Modules

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am writing a kernel module.

Currently the entry point to my module is a SYSTEM
CALL.

My problem is I have to compile the whole kernel each
time I make any changes to my code. So I want to
convert my code to a lodable module. So that I don't
need to recompile the kernel each time.

I am not sure how should I provide an entry point to
the user processes to my module. I don't want to use
ioctl as an entry point to my module.

For Eg. My module has defined function "foo". How
should I make this function available to the user
process ?

Thanks
