Hi
I am doing some experiments in FreeBSD platform. I need to write in
/dev/kmem. I can open it using open system call, I can change the pointer
inside it using lseek but when I am trying to write something in it using
write system call the write always returns -1. I do not know what's the
problem. I will appreciate any  help regarding this.

Thanking you,
