Re: Writing a module having multiple files

EXPORT_SYMBOL will make your symbols accessible to kernel and other kernel modules. If you just want to call func from b.c, you dont need to EXPORT_SYMBOL it. It will work if func is not static.

Hi

I am writing a module which consists of multiple files and I have
written makefile accordingly i.e. to get a single .ko out of all these
files. I have 3 files a.c, b.c and c.c
and I have defined a function func() in file a.c and I want to use it
in b.c, do I need to export it using EXPORT_SYMBOL or if I dont make
it static it will work well since ultimately all these files are going
to make a single .ko. I know that, if I make it static I need to
export it, and I know that we should make these functions static.
