Hi.. > so, now, i need to find a way to get the address and type too. by > 'type' i mean, whether its a function, integer, char, char *, etc. i > think that could be impossible. so any kind of information is very > much welcomed ! try to check kallsyms_get_symbol_type() defined on kernel/kallsyms.c to find out the type. For the address, IMHO you already found it. kallsyms_lookup_name returns the address of the symbol if it is found. The returned address is in unsigned long type. regards, Mulyadi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
