Thanks, Eric! I purchased Amit Singh's book. The review on Halvorsen's book said that it mainly covered device drivers. Is this correct? Trip On Feb 18, 2012, at 9:32 PM, Eric Gorr wrote:

I have been examining the kauthORama code on the apple web site. I am interested in monitoring file_open requests. Can anyone direct me to suitable documentation or examples whch explain the way or mechanisms to send messages or strings to user land applications? Would this involve the creation of ports? Can this done in a kext? Can you /should you send messages from a kext?
I might recommend picking up a copy of:
OS X and iOS Kernel Programming [Paperback] Ole Henry Halvorsen (Author), Douglas Clarke (Author) • ISBN-10: 1430235365 • ISBN-13: 978-1430235361
also, do a search for Apple's documentation 'Kernel Extension Programming Topics.' It is quite good, but can be a bit dense in some places.

And, yes, it is certainly possible to send data between user land and a kext.
