Is my understanding correct? If it is, does Solaris have an
alternative for exporting more arbitrary information like Linux does?
Yes OpenSolaris does this in a much more structured way that the
arbitrary format text files that Linux does.
For most of the things you do cat /proc/<muble>/<sometextfile> there is
either a special admin command, or the data is available via kstats. See
kstats(1M) which is a perl program interface to the kstats library
functionality.
Thank you Darren for your response!
The problem I am trying to solve is that I want to export to userland
some information that is available in a kernel module - let's say my
kernel module.
The approaches that are being considered are 1) using the proc
interface, 2) using ioctls.
Looks like 1 is not possible and 2 is the way out. Is iocts the way to
go or is there a better mechanism you could suggest?

Manoj
