Hi I am a newbie in the world of Linux kernel. I have lots of questions and some may be really silly. So, I will be asking a lot of questions in the coming few months. I hope asking such questions is considered OK here. If not, please guide me. Here is the question I have now. I was playing with the printk() statements and how they work. I found a strange thing. printk(KERN_INFO "hello, world\n" KERN_INFO "hello, again\n"); Initially, I was expecting it to print "hello world" in one line and "<6>hello, again" in the next line. But this is printing "hello, world" and "hello, again" in two different lines. So, is it that the printk() puts the whole message in some kernel buffer. and the kernel searches for PRIORITY-message-newline-PRIORITY-message-newline... and so on and prints into dmesg? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
