Hello!
I am trying to update a XIF driver source code and am about to use the kerinfo for the first time in my life. I was wondering - do I have to check for mint version somehow before I am allowed to call the nf_ops (if it's non-NULL, of course) of the kerinfo? Could there be an older version of FreeMiNT or MiNT (MiNT is _now_ TOS or even older MiNT is _not_ TOS) that would have too old and especially too short the kerinfo struct?
There is a version number on the top of the kerinfo. All elements under the comment 'version 2 extension' are only valid if the version number is greater or equal 2. You should also check for a minimum of FreeMiNT 1.15 like all other xfs and xdd do:
if ((MINT_MAJOR == 0)
|| ((MINT_MAJOR == 1) && ((MINT_MINOR < 15) || (MINT_KVERSION < 2))))
{
/* error */
...
}
Regards,
Frank
