I am developing a function say my_abc() which does the same thing as kernel function abc(). Now I want that instead of using predefined kernel function kernel starts using my function. It might be possible that the kernel function has been used so many places.
View 7 RepliesI manage to use the function "time" and "localtime" in gcc.But while I used it in a module in kernel space the above 2 functions are giving error.Even in kernel space time.h header file is not identified. tell the similar time function which can be used in kernel space
View 1 Replies View RelatedKernel driver function was called via ioctl and returned success, but when I checked the kernel display buffer with dmesg the printk message was not there. Then when you do lsmod, the driver you were calling showed "used by zero". So it seems like the kernel driver was not accessed. In the kernel driver, I had many printk statements, but nothing printed in the buffer. if the driver get accessed and what could cause this?

View 1 Replies View Relatedthe function terminates if no key is pressed for 10 consecutive seconds. I tried using the -t option as suggested in some forums, but my version of showkey doesn't have the option of changing the timeout. The options I get are:
-h --helpdisplay this help text
-a --asciidisplay the decimal/octal/hex values of the keys
-s --scancodesdisplay only the raw scan-codes
-k --keycodesdisplay only the interpreted keycodes (default).
Is it possible to write a script to use this function and still keep the function active until an interrupt is recieved?
I am trying to install vmware server on CentOS: In vmware installation guide it says before intalling:
Before you begin, read the following notes and make adjustments to your host system: The realtime clock function must be compiled in your Linux kernel. The parallel port PCstyle hardware option (CONFIG_PARPORT_PC) must be built and loaded as a kernel module (that is, it must be set to m when the kernel is compiled).
I have a situation where there are no logs in /var/log/messages and this has happened the second time during two weeks.
Snapshot of the screen was taken when this happened and the server was restarted. Since it's a time sensitive matter.

I bought a multifunction stylus sx218 Espon model and I can not run the scanner function. I did some research and found a few solutions and very functional. I hope someone solves the problem. My version of openSUSE 11.2.

I am doing some Linux kernel programming for my research project. I need to record the timestamp (by using cpuid and rdtsc) when an interrupt handler (top half) is first invoked. Due to the time critical nature of the problem itself, I have to do the timestamping inside the interrupt handler itself (the first operation when the handler is called). However, I understand that tasks that are not so time critical should be deferred to a tasklet function (bottom half) for processing because other interrupts are disabled in a (top-half) interrupt handler. I am currently out of idea on how I can pass the timestamp information that I have obtained in the interrupt handler to the corresponding tasklet function.

But link is missing ...I dont know how will my user space will access kernel space means my function in kernel space which will do copy_to_user /....How my user space function will call my kernel level function ..
Can any one of you provide me with some example file which are doing this .I know every char driver is using it ...but i could not trace back how user level function is accessing it ...i m confused between user space and kernel space.
I'm currently using OpenSuse 11.1 web server. This is bad since 11.1 is no longer supported. the reason why I am using it is because Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() was no longer being used. (so I was told)
That being said, is there a way to get Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() to function on the newer versions of OpenSuSE?
I looked on the net for such function or example and didin't find anything, thus after having made one i guess it would be legitimate to drop it to see what others thinks of it.

If you set or export an environment variable in bash, you can unset it. If you set an alias in bash, you can unalias it. But there doesn't seem to be an unfunction.
Consider this (trivial) bash function, for example, set in a .bash_aliases file and read at shell initialization.
function foo () { echo "bar" ; }
How can I clear this function definition from my current shell? (Changing the initialization files or restarting the shell doesn't count.)
I've got a sticky little problem with a bash script. Please consider the following code:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
processArgs() {
echo "Count = $#"
while [[ $# -ne 0 ]]; do
echo $1
shift
done
}
processArgs $* If I call this script with Code: ./script first second third it'll print each of the argument on a new line - exactly what I would expect. However if I call it with
Code: ./script "Single Argument" "Second-Argument" it splits the first argument in two using the space as a delimitor. The problem appears to be the call to processArgs, where $* doesn't honour the quotes around the variables sent to the script.
I'd like a function in my .bashrc file that would allow me to pass text to it and echo the text to a specified file. I know it's simple as "echo 'text' >> file," but ideally, I would want to alias the function so I execute something like:
Code:
user~ $ write 'this is a test' with "write" being the function, and 'this is a test' being echoed to the file. I hope I explained that well enough.

Years ago on AIX I used to create a file of key strokes, including function keys (mainly F3 and F12) into a file, and used that file as input to an INFORMIX program, to automated tasks, something like this:
fglgo myprogram.fgo <keystrokefile.txt
Now, I'm using Aubit language on GNU/Linux, and I'd like to do the same kind of thing, but I can't recall how I worked out the chars for the function keys, I'm using a different emulation (xterm), and I can't work out what characters to put in the key stroke file. My $TERM variable contains "xterm". If I type "infocmp", I get this:
Code:
# Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm
xterm|xterm terminal emulator (X Window System),
am, bce, km, mc5i, mir, msgr, npc, xenl,
colors#8, cols#80, it#8, lines#24, pairs#64,
acsc=``aaffggiijjkkllmmnnooppqqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzz{{||}}~~,
[Code]....
1. Is the above infocmp output the place I should get the information I need?
2. What chars do I need to put into my file to simulate me pressing F3 and F12?
3. Is there a way for me to put such chars in a file by just pressing those function keys (I tried a here document, but that doesn't work (it's as if the function keys are not even pressed)).
Can someone tell me what the number '2' refers to in function calls, for example fork(2).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI made the following script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
logErrors(){exec 2>/tmp/errorlogfifowhile truedocat /tmp/errorlogfifo |echo $(date "+[%Y-%m-%d %H:%m:%S]") Error: >/var/log/error.logdone}
logErrors
ls inexistentFile
exit 0
If I execute the script I see the formated error message in /var/log/error.log, as to be expected. After the script execution, I hoped "logErrors" was not executing anymore, but when, in another terminal, I call "echo something > /tmp/errorlogfifo", I still see the formated error message "something" in "/var/log/error.log". How can I finalize "logErrors" before the script ends? Or, maybe someone knows a better way to format and log the erros in a script.
I forgot to say that the file "/tmp/errorlogfifo" is a named pipe created by the command "mkfifo /tmp/errorlogfifo".
