To actually output something you need printk() and > friends. Also, if this is some sort of proc file (or other virtual filesystem) you will need to mount it and open the file, e.g. cat /proc/your-proc-filename. It will also be easier to help if you provide a bit more context the next time you have a question. Good luck.
