communicate with a driver from a kernel module


I want to communicate with a driver (/dev device) from a kernel module. I have an application and some kernel modules associated with it. From the lowest KM I want to read and write to the driver. What should I do? I have read that writing and reading files from the KM is not a good choice. Is there any other way? Could I use the header files of the driver? If so, how?

Hello and welcome to LinuxQuestions,

Please don't post your question in more then one forum. You'll only create confusion on where the discussion is going on. I've reported your other two threads for closure since they are duplicates of this one. Stick to one thread per question please.

Kind regards,

Eric
