Hello, I wanted to send asynchronous messages from my kernel module to applications through a device. From 'Linux Device Drivers', I get the idea that SIGIO is the method. But I wanted to pass some data along with it as well, which does'nt seem possible through SIGIO. Note that i need to pass the data EXACTLY along the asychronous signal. ===== --------------------------------------------------------- "To teach how to live without certainty, and yet without being paralysed by hesitation, is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy, in our age, can still do for those who study it." --Bertrand Russell "We are convinced that freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice, and that Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality." from the book: "The Political Philosophy of Bakunin". __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
