If I want to export the control interface of a certain driver to a user-level
configuration utility (e.g. structure definitions for ioctls), do I still put
the header file in include/linux?
>From various glibc discussions I remember that this should _not_ be done -
include files in the kernel distribution are just for use of the kernel and
nobody else. I also remember somebody saying that /usr/include/linux will
vanish, eventually.
Hence, the alternative is to keep a second copy of the interface definition with
the configuration utility.
Is there a definite guideline? I just want to do the right thing.
