Subject: How to grab a block of binary data w/out using ioctls?
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2006 17:44:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <453D61E8.8020400@candelatech.com> (raw)

Since IOCTLs are out of favor these days, what would be
a preferred way to get a block of binary data out of the
kernel?

I just want to grab a stats structure (well-aligned 32 and 64-bit counters
and fixed-length strings) for a pktgen interface.

Can you do this with seq-files somehow?

Thanks,
Ben
