Re: [MiNT] Using device files in "/dev" from kernel space

Hi,

From what I know in UNIX kernels files in /dev directory make an
interface between user space applications and device drivers.


Btw.: within linux kernel, theoretically every function within an kernel module is public accessible to other kernel modules. Exception: you declared the function as static - than the function is not public available.

I believe this will be similar with the MiNT kernel, you can expect that you are able to call non-static functions from other modules.
