Hi, Can someone tell me how can I know that which different applications are using my driver indirectly and/or directly ( via opening dev files)? lsmod shows the count "Used". Every driver writer will increment the count in the open() call. How can I know that who is using the module? lsmod shows the modules which are dependent on it but not the applications/processes. If we can get the process id which are using it, than also it is fine.
If you are knowing which device file is created by any kernel module then you need to use lsof command. Say you want to check which application is using /dev/dsp file then lsof| grep dsp and you will get application which is using that device file.
