Hi,
I want to add a new ioctl to keyboard driver device file which will
perform the work of copying user space data sent to it into kernel
space and send those characters to handle_scancode function of keyboard
driver.. Now I want to know
1) what is the device file corresponding to keyboard (is it
/dev/input/keyboard).
2) where file operations structure is defined for that.
3) where the those ioctls handled(not found in keyboard.c).
Any small help is appreciated.
why not using uinput for this job?
Hai,
Thanks for the solution. I did the above task, by defining a new
character device driver and sending ioctl to it. and calling
handle_scancode from it. Now I want
to do the same task with in the keyboard driver. For that I need to send
ioctl to keyboard device file.
For that only I asked the
above doubts.
regards,
P.Manohar.
