No, I meant that /usr/include/linux has to deal with user space programs (those files are providing structures for using functionality provided by kernel to user applications) like compare /usr/include/linux/cdrom.h with kernel's include/linux/cdrom.h and you will find that /usr/include/linux files only/mostly have structures whereas kernel's include/linux/cdrom.h has some function declarations (extern) too with some other code. So, /usr/include/linux can have stuffs found include/linux but you can't compare them as it is. I hope my explanation will help. -- Fawad Lateef -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
