Darwin-kernel mailing list (Darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/darwin-kernel/site_archiver%40lists.a... getpid() doesn't seem to be available to a kext (I try to include <unistd.h> but it fails). If you are trying to use this header in a kernel extension, you may not fully understand the programming model. Nothing in /usr/ include is usable in the kernel or its extensions. Nothing in /usr/ lib is usable in the kernel. Some functions and definitions that occur in /usr/include may be provided by the kernel, but they aren't really the same. Can I use <sys/proc.h> and extern_proc with current_proc() to get at the pid? You should review the KPI documents to see how to interact with the kernel. Check the Apple developer website: <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/ KEXTConcept/KEXTConceptDependencies/kext_dependencies.html> This document seems to indicate that sys is available, but when I include <sys/proc.h>, struct extern_proc does not get declared. I can't seem to figure out why not, except perhaps the compiler is including a different file than Command-D is opening up for me. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
