what is the kernel function called when a file is created
 

HELLO,
if u had seen the thread before i was searching an equivalent for dtrace.. i hav resolved to systemtap.. i am able to trace the systemcalls.. but when a file is created it doesnot call create system call..

one can probe kernel function in systemtap also.. any idea of what is the system call or kernel function called when a new file is created..:scratch:

If I understand your question correctly, I beleive it is the 'open()' call. If the specified file does not exist, it is created.
--- rod.

ya,thats okay..
open() would work fine.. but is there any way to find that the file opened already exists or new one is created..
i would like to trace files that are created..
thanks,
