Re: processing IOService in kext




gc,

Why do you want to intercept file I/O calls?
I am implementing this over a disk image.
Then I copy ANY application into the disk image in order to cache / optimize / re route it's requests.
(say its looking for a certain file on the disk, which is not there, but I can get it from else where)

Hello DM,

-- Hi,

I am trying to further implement the following Apple Kernel sample.
How do I parse / filter /  the  IOService which is handed to me?

I have tried several options, but am getting nowhere.
I need to know the name of the class (open, create, etc) and the specific params for each call
client->serviceMatching( "open", table );

A filter scheme is located well below the filesystem, so it has no knowledge of UNIX syscalls or files. A filter scheme only knows about reading/writing a buffer at a particular location on an IOMedia object. An IOMedia object is typically either a partition or the entire medium.


The IOService handed to you is the IOMedia object published by the filter scheme.

Why do you want to intercept file I/O calls?

--gc

P.S. Please do not cross-post to multiple lists. If you do, people on one list don't know anything about the responses on the other list. I'm replying to the darwin-dev list only.


Note: this is a kext with KERNEL = 1, so not all api's are accessible.

Thanks, DM
