Accessing files from kernel modules.

Hi All,

Is it possible to access/modify configuration file from a kernel module ? If yes, what kernel API should I use to open/read/write to a file ?

Thanks in advance.

I think the answer to your question is no.

I think the HP-UX kernel is a little different than you are used to from other OS.

What kind of configuration file do you wish to modify?

Thanks for the response.

Our kernel module requires some data to be written to a file( to make it persistent). Configuration file to let the kernel module know where to write the file. Writting to raw volume will require lots of effort and time.

Thanks.
