Re: system() call in kernel module



... because in module programming, you only have access to system and
internal kernel calls/symbols.  The system() call is actually based on
the fork() and 
execve() system calls. You can call these system calls AFAIK. But
library calls like system() are definitely out of your reach in module
programming.
