Subject: Module read a file?
Date: 11 Oct 2001 13:48:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m38zehucml.fsf@flash.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: Dan Hollis's message of "Thu, 11 Oct 2001 13:16:51 -0700 (PDT)"
I'm modifying a PCMCIA driver module so that it can load new firmware
into the card when it's inserted.
Rather than including the firmware inside the module's binary, I would
much rather be able to read it out of the filesystem.
Are their any good examples of kernel code or kernel modules reading a
file out of the filesystem that I could copy or at least look to for
inspiration?
