If a function is not in Kernel.framework/Headers/, you can't use it in

you can't use it in user space.

And in my case I've tried to use one of those functions, namely 'kernel_sysctl' which would *seem* to be a kernel replacement for 'sysctl'... yet it doesn't seem to work. So, I'm still hoping someone can give me some advice on getting process information from within a kernel extension. Anyone? thanks much, Chris

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.
