Hello ,
I am learning linux kernel module
programming in linux kernel 2.6.5 ( fedora core 2 ), i have encountered
a problem in passing command line parameters to a module, this is the
programme in which i encountered a problem,
/*hello-1.c*/
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/moduleparam.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/stat.h>
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
MODULE_AUTHOR("Peter Jay Salzman");
static short int myshort = 1;
static int myint = 420;
static long int mylong = 9999;
static char *mystring = "blah";
static int myintArray[2] = { −1, −1 };
static int arr_argc = 0;
module_param(myshort, short, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IWGRP);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(myshort, "A short integer");
module_param(myint, int, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(myint, "An integer");
module_param(mylong, long, S_IRUSR);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(mylong, "A long integer");
module_param(mystring, charp, 0000);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(mystring, "A character string");
module_param_array(myintArray, int, &arr_argc, 0000);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(myintArray, "An array of integers");
static int __init hello_5_init(void)
{
int i;
printk(KERN_INFO "Hello, world 5\n=============\n");
printk(KERN_INFO "myshort is a short integer: %hd\n", myshort);
printk(KERN_INFO "myint is an integer: %d\n", myint);
printk(KERN_INFO "mylong is a long integer: %ld\n", mylong);
printk(KERN_INFO "mystring is a string: %s\n", mystring);
for (i = 0; i < (sizeof myintArray / sizeof (int)); i++)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "myintArray[%d] = %d\n", i, myintArray[i]);
}
printk(KERN_INFO "got %d arguments for myintArray.\n", arr_argc);
return 0;
}
static void __exit hello_5_exit(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Goodbye, world 5\n");
}
module_init(hello_5_init);
module_exit(hello_5_exit);
And this is the makefile which i have used
obj−m += hello−1.o
all :
make −C /lib/modules/$(shell uname −r)/build M=$(PWD) modules
clean :
make −C /lib/modules/$(shell uname −r)/build M=$(PWD) clean
Im refering to this site for kernel module programming
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/index.html
The problem is given in chapter 2.6 in hte above site
Please do help me in this regard, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Badari.
