Kernel memory exported to user apps

[Kym Van Der Linden]

Hi there,

I have both a DLKM and static monolithic device driver, running on HPUX 11.0.

Question 1: Is there a way to allocate kernel memory in the device driver that can be exported to user applications in HPUX 11.0? On Solaris, the call is ddi_umem_alloc()? Is there a site where I can get this information?

Question 2: Is there a way to map to user space memory at the device driver?

Question 3: Is there a call that I can use to create a binary/ascii file in my device driver? Where would the file reside, i.e. /etc?

Thanks,
Kym
