| |
I would like to be able to read/write a file in the regular file system (like /tmp/mystuff.txt) from the kernel space. In user-space, I'd use open() and then read() and write(). Can someone suggest a piece of kernel code or documentation that does something like this?
I would also like to get a TCP/IP socket and read/write to it in a similar manner. Basically, I want the familiarity of user-space, but I have to implement most of the functionality in the kernel.
Thanks, Ben
