It is not just a system call. With 2.6 kernel, a lot more of the work is done in the kernel so it may be easier. If you insist on doing it in your program instead of fork/exec, I would say your better of just copying the sources of insmod (and insmod.modutils), although I'm not sure what license they are under. > As both Muli and me tried to tell you before - "Use the source, Luke". > Just google for the sources of insmod and see how it uses the system call. > > --Amos > > -- > "We wanted proper outback: a place where men were men > and sheep were nervous." - Bill Bryson, "Down Under" > > ================================================================To > unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > This Mail Was Scanned By Mail-seCure System > at the Tel-Aviv University CC. > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This Mail Was Scanned By Mail-seCure System at the Tel-Aviv University CC. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
