how to access nand flash from user space

how to access nand flash from user space

[vishalk]

Hi,

I have been trying to access nand flash from user space.
I am using the functions 'mtd_write' and 'mtd_read' in mtdchar.c .
when I include the mtd.h file, I get compilation errors pertaining to the
mtd.h file. can someone please tell me how to access these functions 
from user space.

Thanks,
VK

How do you use mtd_read and mtd_write functions when they are static? 
Are you meaning to say from your user application you open the 
/dev/mtdchar and do a read and write?
