Furthermore, some of the questions you ask indicate that you're approaching kernel programming the same way you would program in user space. Others (myself included) have suggested a couple of books to get you started quickly. It will take some work on your part, however, if you ever want to be a proficient kernel developer. Examples are good to back up theory, but are a horrible way to learn any kind of programming. Please take us up on our advise to do some reading. I can promiss you that the energy you spend on reading will be time well spent if Linux kernel programming is for you. If you have questions about portions you read in the book, somebody here might be willing to give you a hand. Please do not take this as an insult. You sound like you have a lot of interest in Kernel development. If that's the case, I'd like to see you turn into a good developer, not just another "so-so" programmer. Good luck, -- Sean
