stuffing characters to keyboard buffer.

hai,

I want to stuff the characters received on a serial line into the keyboard buffer, so that they will be send to applications as if they are coming from keyboard irrespective of console or x-windows mode.

For this purpose, I planned to use ioctls. Can anybody tell how to send an ioctl to keyboard driver?

AFAIK, tty_flip_buffer is the buffer from which both console and x-windows will take input. If we insert into this buffer, I think the purpose will be served. Now the question is how to send ioctl to this buffer.

  can you please give any suggestions on this?



  Thanks&Regards,
  P.Manohar,
