I am looking for some simple method of exchanging data between the kernel and a user process. basically i cant use the proc filesystem. so im looking for something along these lines: ------- in kernel module char my_array[80]; strcpy(my_array,"Hello"); //export the variable somehow into user space ---------- in user process //import the variable from kernel space printf("Kernel says: %s", my_array); Ive tried to find example/documentation but i havent been successful. thank you very very much for all your help!
