Of course, during compiling, module that uses that exported symbol will be said as using unknown symbol (but since likely you will use "extern", it will still go on). During module linking in kernel space, that "unknown symbol name" will be resolved. Just like what we see when a program link to function(s) or variable(s) in dynamic libraries. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
