Hello, I googled but found nothing about the usage of the kern_* functions (kern_open, kern_close, kern_pwritev, kern_preadv) that are located in vfs_syscalls.c When I use kern_open to open a file within the kernel, I get an error. When I use the normal vn_open function instead, all works well. So my question is which functions are recommended by you kernel-hackers for use within kernelspace? And here a second question: Is it possible to open/use the console driver in kernelspace within the functions mentioned above? If not, can you give me some pointers on where I can find this information! Regards, Marc
