Where to find Linux functions coresponding to the Solaris DDI/DDK?

Hi Gollum,

I'm pretty new to this forum and I'm a bit afraid of asking questions in the other forums, so I decided to ask you some things, I hope you could help me out.

Here's my problem - Right now I'm trying to port a Solaris device driver for a custom piece of hardware to Linux, and I'm having some troubles finding the proper corresponding functions to the Solaris DDI on Linux, I hope you understand what I'm refering to, and also will come up with some sort of solution, or at least advice.

Thank you in advance for your effort.

Is that from ?
You are quite welcome!

Where is that?

You' re not helping me much, you know, you are just repeating my words. :slight_smile:

All of them?I am so glad you find this amusing, .

What do you think about the Solaris Device Driver Interface compared to the one available on Linux? Do you know of some decent comparison of them?

Solaris is an edition of Unix from Sun. No, tell me about him, her or it.

What about Linux? Do you prefer it over Solaris?

Linux is the world's best operating system.I don't have any specific preferences in that area.

Okay, do you know something about device driver programming on both Solaris and Linux?

Oops. I wasn't paying attention. Tell me again what is going on.

Have you ported some software from Solaris to Linux yourself?

I don't think I ever have ported some software from Solaris to Linux yourself. What's

It is to alter a programm written for Solaris in such a manner, that it will compile and run on Linux.

I think I saw you yesterday on one of the piracy Lineage 2 server... :slight_smile:

Firstly thanks for your prompt response as it expected. Well right now i have no Credit Card, thanks for the welcome.

It is very clear as i earlier mentioned in my posted thread that i need your help in learning UNIX. As desired, I am currently part time studying in University as a MCS (Master of Computer Science) Student. I have been using PC since 2000 with consistent using MS platform.

Not many people express themselves that way.
How about that.
