Kernel programming sys_creat
Hi there

At first.
My Name is Andre, 27 and im from germany

Im tryin to learn something about the Unix Kernel and System

At first im trying to manipulate the systemcalls

I want to have an Entry in the kernel logfile, whenever a new file is created.

I found out, that a file uses the sys_creat function, to be created.
This function is referencing to the sys_open

But here is the point, where i dont get any further..

Where exactly can i find this function?

I hope that my english is good enough, that you can understand my problem Smilie

Andre

edit: It seems, that the function can be foun in fs/open.c?
line: 927
if (flags & O_CREAT) {
op->intent |= LOOKUP_CREATE;

i guess, here we have the point?
can someone explain that to me?

OPTIONS

       The Kernel Tuner application accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command-line options, which are documented in the OPTIONS section of the
       X(1X) reference page.

DESCRIPTION

       The Kernel Tuner application, dxkerneltuner, is used to maintain and manage the attributes of loadable kernel subsystems. It enables you to
       update the current and boot time values of updatable kernel subsystem attributes.

       Use  Kernel Tuner to: Display kernel subsystems Display boot time and current values of kernel subsystem attributes Modify boot time values
       of kernel subsystem attributes Modify current values of updatable kernel subsystem attributes Read values for kernel  subsystem	attributes
       from a file Write values for kernel subsystem attributes to a file

       You must have root privileges to run the Kernel Tuner application.

       The Kernel Tuner application can be invoked from the CDE Application Manager from the following categories:

       Application Group:	System_Admin
       System Admin Subgroup:	Monitoring and Tuning

       For additional information about the graphical user interface, see the online help volume. The online help does not describe kernel subsys-
       tem attributes.	For information on tuning particular attributes, refer to System Configuration and Tuning.

EXAMPLES

       To start the Kernel Tuner application from the command line, enter: /usr/bin/X11/dxkerneltuner To view the Kernel Tuner online help  volume
       without running the application, enter the following command: /usr/dt/bin/dthelpview -h  /usr/dt/appconfig/help/C/Dxkerneltuner.sdl
