Hi akshayupadhayay,
How silly, indeed.

I asked you to explain what company you're working for and the nature of the problem if this is not a homework assignment because the problem you have presented looks more like a homework assignment than something that most people would need to do in a normal workplace setting. Your refusal to directly answer the question "Is this a homework assignment?", your refusal to show us what you have tired to solve this problem on your own, and your refusal to explain why you need to do this at all leads us to believe that this is a homework assignment rather than a legitimate work assignment.

This site is designed to help people who want to learn how to use the tools available on BSD, Linux, and UNIX systems to actually learn how to perform tasks like you have described in this thread on their own.

Creating a profile here does not mean that the volunteers who work on this site are here to act as your unpaid programming staff. If you are unwilling to show us that you have made an honest attempt to solve this problem on your own, there is little incentive for us to make any attempt show you the code we have written that seems to solve your problem for you.

NAME

     intro -- introduction to system kernel interfaces

DESCRIPTION

     This section contains information about the interfaces and subroutines in the kernel.

PROTOTYPES ANSI-C AND ALL THAT
     Yes please.

     We would like all code to be fully prototyped.

     If your code compiles cleanly with cc -Wall we would feel happy about it.	It is important to understand that this is not a question of just
     shutting up cc, it is a question about avoiding the things it complains about.  To put it bluntly, do not hide the problem by casting and
     other obfuscating practices, solve the problem.

INDENTATION AND STYLE

     Believe it or not, there actually exists a guide for indentation and style.  It is not generally applied though.

     We would appreciate if people would pay attention to it, and at least not violate it blatantly.

     We do not mind it too badly if you have your own style, but please make sure we can read it too.

     Please take time to read style(9) for more information.

NAMING THINGS

     Some general rules exist:

     1.   If a function is meant as a debugging aid in DDB, it should be enclosed in

		#ifdef DDB

		#endif /* DDB */

	  And the name of the procedure should start with the prefix DDB_ to clearly identify the procedure as a debugger routine.

SCOPE OF SYMBOLS

     It is important to carefully consider the scope of symbols in the kernel.	The default is to make everything static, unless some reason
     requires the opposite.

     There are several reasons for this policy, the main one is that the kernel is one monolithic name-space, and pollution is not a good idea
     here either.

     For device drivers and other modules that do not add new internal interfaces to the kernel, the entire source should be in one file if possi-
     ble.  That way all symbols can be made static.

     If for some reason a module is split over multiple source files, then try to split the module along some major fault-line and consider using
     the number of global symbols as your guide.  The fewer the better.
