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?

TWIG(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   TWIG(1)

NAME

       twig - tree-manipulation language

SYNOPSIS

       twig [ -sASC ] [ -w suffix ] file.mt

DESCRIPTION

       Twig  converts  a tree-specification scheme consisting of pattern-action rules with associated costs into C functions that can be called to
       manipulate input trees.	The C functions first find a minimum-cost covering of an input tree using a dynamic programming algorithm and then
       execute	the  actions  associated with the patterns used in the covering.  The tree-specification scheme may allow several coverings for an
       input tree, but the dynamic programming algorithm resolves any ambiguities by selecting a cheapest covering.

       The input file containing the tree-specification scheme must have the suffix Twig produces two output files: walker.c,  which  becomes  the
       source file for the tree matcher, and symbols.h, which contains the definitions for the node and label symbols used in the source file.

       To build walker.c, twig uses an internal template file, by default one appropriate for use with fprintf(2).

       The options are

       -A	  Use a template file for ANSI/POSIX source files.

       -C	  Use a template file for files that use libc's print(2) routines.

       -S	  Use a template file for files that use fprintf(2).

       -s	  Do not produce a symbols.h file.

       -w suffix  Use the template file /sys/lib/twig/walker.suffix.

FILES

       /sys/lib/twig
	      System area for template files.

SOURCE

       /sys/src/cmd/twig

BUGS

       When tree matching fails, the debugging output is cryptic.
