Is it possible for one kext to locate a symbol in another kext? I've tried APETools, dlcompat, kld, and a couple other tricks without success, but I'll admit (and it should be obvious) that I only have a vague notion of what I'm doing. Obviously this is not for anything production and I accept responsibility for the horrible condition I'll likely leave my kernel in if I screw up! I did notice that kextstat is able to get a list of loaded kexts and their addresses, but I could not replicate its functionality from within the kernel. Surely there is a way to do so, but I'm not familiar with the functions used. I think you will find that symbol tables are not loaded into the kernel address space. To paraphrase an oft-repeated refrain on this list, what happens in user-mode should stay in user-mode. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
