Hi all, Since this flavor of question has been cropping up lately, it may be time to reiterate a point about kernel programming interfaces. If a function is not in Kernel.framework/Headers/, you can't use it in a kernel extension. And, if a function is defined for kernel use only, you can't use it in user space. Now back to our regular scheduled email. --gc On Tuesday, June 10, 2003, at 01:33 PM, Chris Silverberg wrote: Hi folks I have an existing kext that needs to be modified slightly to look at process information. The process information I need is performed elsewhere by calling 'sysctl' ala: mib[0] = CTL_KERN; mib[1] = KERN_PROC; mib[2] = KERN_PROC_ALL; error = sysctl(mib, 3, procInfo, &buffersize, NULL, NULL); This code works fine in the user land application, but now I want to do the same in the kext. It doesn't appear that I can directly call 'sysctl' from a kext, so can anyone help me determine the proper way of retrieving this information? Advice is greatly appreciated. thanks, Chris _______________________________________________ darwin-kernel mailing list | darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/darwin-kernel Do not post admin requests to the list.
