RE: opening files in kernel modules

["Vikram K" <vikramk@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

include the file <linux/file.h>

u can use the function filp_open (fs/open.c) to open the file. you have the
file pointer and use the fops interfaces...

dont forget to use put_filp to close the file...

Subject: [LIP] opening files in kernel modules


hi ,

	i have a problem while writing kernel level
modules...i'm unable to open/read data from any
files...

	how do i open files in kernel modules...which headers
have the necessary functions ? using <stdio.h> and
functions like 'fopen' decribed in it doesn't seem to
help.

     also, how does one set delays, again in kernel
modules.

		ciao,
				sibin
