To make it short, by doing that you make that symbol "visible" to kernel module. By visible, I mean it can be referenced. Thus if it's variable you can store a value or retrieve the content, if it's procedure then you can call it. The mechanism is quite similar in normal user space programming. By declaring a variable as non static and you refer it on another object code as extern, then run time linking will make the latter object code able to refer the symbol. regards, Mulyadi. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
