Hi, I'm doing a port of a Linux module I wrote so that I can use it on my FreeBSD system. However, after some digging, I found the FreeBSD /proc is vastly different from Linux. Despite the overuse of /proc in Linux, it is useful still to have something like that in my module. Basically, I need some kind of pseudo filesystem to store pseudo files that can report informations of the module I write. I need to be able to echo into the files, and cat it out (yes like fifo) and read information such as the id of the running process that uses the module, etc. Is there facility like that in FreeBSD? Thank you, ed __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
