Hi, I´m implementing a syscall and I want to write some information on the user terminal. I´ve heard that using printk(KERN_ALERT"String") could return "String" to the terminal, but it doesn´t. It just modifies the file /var/log/messages. My distribution is Fedora Core 2 (kernel 2.6.5). Did somebody get the same problem? Did I do something wrong? The syscall is working perfectly, the only problem is that I want to return information to the user, and using the copy_to_user function isn´t appropriate, once there are lots of information (more than 5) I want to retrieve, with different types (not only string).
