    What problems do you have ?. /proc behaves like any other filesystem.
    You can use ordinary file functions like fopen, fread, fwrite, fscanf ...

    I need to make a kernel pace program to initiate a communication to a userspace program..the kernelspace program (i modified some functions in the the iptables kernel code) needs to notify a userspace program that it has to start its execution. I was told that system calls, libraries and (g)libc are not avaibale in kernel space. I wa told to look at procfs.

    Can you help..

    Warm regards,
    Visham
