based on my reading of LDD3 and the procfs_example.c file in the kernel Doc directory, i just want to clarify all possible ways to create the different types of /proc files. first, to create a simple read and/or write file, you can use create_proc_entry() supplying the name, mode and directory, after which (depending on whether you're implementing read, write or both) you'd assign to the "read_proc" and/or "write_proc" members of the proc_dir_entry structure, right? as a shorter alternative, if you want *strictly* a read-only file, you could use create_proc_read_entry(). and, finally, if you want a seq_file, you need to use create_proc_entry, and then you'd assign to the "proc_fops" member of the proc_dir_entry. is that about it? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
