Hi All,
I have been reading about adding system call to the MINIX 3 OS. In
proc.h I have placed an array (Array_1)of 2 deminsions
and I'm using proc.c to fill that array with data. Now I'm trying to
add system call that will access that array. Can you tell me where I
need to place that system call (which server), and how I will pass an
array (user_array) during the system call so I can copy array_1 to
user_array?
Thanks,
To pass the array you need to use the function "sysvircopy". (Or some
thing like that)
Remember that the user should make a malloc(array_size).
You don't have to place the call in any server, search for "How to add
a Kernel call in minix 3".
Bye!
PD: Sorry for my bad english.
