can anyone pl tell me how do i display all the drivers and the devices installed in the system without using any shell commands and the proc file system.
i m using c language
thanks in advance
i want to write a function which can b called in any other c program,the fun is :: void DevShow(void);void drvShow(void);
This should display all the existing devices /drivers in the system on the screen. it has to display the names .
I wanted to know where exactly is the list stored ,and by wat way can i access that data structure (in user mode)
whats in /proc is basically all that can be gathered from syscalls, so if you look up on syscalls, you should be able to request the info about devices/drivers i think, tho i really don't know if there is another way, might want to look at the glibc info pages just to check, it also has some basicish info on the syscall function
