I am trying to open a file for manipulation in Kernel mode. After several hours of searching, limited documentation seems to suggest that I would be able to use a VNode to accomplish my objective. I have tried to find documentation on how this works and what I must do to be able to get a handle to a file and open it up for manipulation. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can look for information on how vnodes and the VFS work? Or perhaps someone could enlighten me on what I must do to be able to open a file for use??? Or might there be a different way to open a file in Kernel mode that I've missed all together?
