Hi,
   I am implementing the ioctl function for my own character device driver.
In that I want to get the size of the device.
ioctl takes the last argument as long int.
i have to use the copy_to_user()  symbol

the second and third arguments for this symbol is the address of the device size and the size of the long int.
(i.e)
copy_to_user(,&DEVICE_SIZE,sizeof(long int));
where DEVICE_SIZE is the size of my device.How can i use the first argument?
