Re: Current Process

How can I get the current process from inside a kernel extension? I've
tried calling currentProcess(), but when that is included, the KEXT won't
load becuase of unresolved symbols.

The call is current_proc_EXTERNAL(), which gets you a 'struct proc *'. You have to be *very* careful in using the result; check for NULL, and make sure that you fully understand the context in which your driver is running when you call it. Getting the identity of the current process at random points in your driver's execution path may give you an equally random process.

What are you trying to do?
