You need to know that if your module/driver ever creates a simple read-only proc file, they will be flamed to a crisp on lkml when they submit it :) Seriously, don't ever create a new proc file, it's not anything anyone should ever be doing anymore. > i'm also interesting in collecting examples of documentation for > basic kernel programming concepts. sometimes, there are excellent > examples in the source Documentation/ directory, sometimes not. The kobject documentation should be good, and there are examples in the samples/ directory in the kernel that should be a great place to start. Also look at drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c for an example usb driver. It is a bit complex, but then again, it's a real-world one so that's needed in places. hope this helps, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
