realksh.c - A shell for running Kernel-mode C code
Contents
Description
realksh.c is an interactive shell that runs C source code. A line of input is handled as a line in
module_init() function, and the resulting C code is compiled to build a kernel module. The module is
then inserted into the kernel, and removed from the kernel. kernel message output prepended with KMSG:
is copied to standard out for convenience, so that functions like printk can be used for easy debugging.
If a line starting with # such as #include<stdio.h> is entered, it is added to every code after that at
the start of sourcecode.
The list of such lines can be seen with ##Examples
The following is an example session
$ sudo ./realksh.c
REAL ksh: printk ("hello\n");

KMSG: <4>hello
