But you do have to actually write some code and make it work @Seamus -- ever use C? You'll love it. Separates the boys from the men so to speak. Or the children from the adults, to be more inclusive. | |

| Mar 30, 2022 at 15:13 | comment | added | goldilocks | Dunno. I should think it has hooks of some sort or it is a bit daft, but you're better off asking about that on Stack Overflow; there's very little kernel mod programming going on here (I'm just familiar with the basics). | |
