parport and char driver

Hi,
I'm new to kernel hacking, I'm trying to devel a kernel module to use
parallel port with simple led because i do in user-space, but now
i want to do that in kernel-space.
I start to read the linux device driver 2nd edition and I'm
ok where i register a char device, but the book show
me the file_operations struct that has many pointers functions
this is what i do:
 
struct file_operations *f_pport;
pport = register_chrdev(PPORT_MAJOR_NUMBER, PPORT_CONST_NAME, f_pport);
 
now if i want to open i have to do something like this?
            f_pport->open(struct inode *, struct file *);
 
and in the book i don't understand which information i have
to give to struct inode and struct file.
 
Thanks
 
Claudio
