Hi,
One way of doing this is , by hooking up your function
inside the module as a system call.
Here i'm sending two files, module.c and user_space.c.
first do "insmod module.o" and then run
"./user_space".
As i'm also a newbee, i'm not aware of the
disadvantages of this approach.
thanks,
Srinivasu Chinta.
