How to add /proc file system entry for the module, illustrated here

here is simple example to demonstrate adding /proc file system entry for the module, as follows shiv@ubuntu:~/ds/linx$ cat heloproc.c /*  * Kernel program demo to illustrate how to create/add entry to  * /proc file system  */ #include <linux/init.h> #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/proc_fs.h> /* Module license */ MODULE_LICENSE("Dual BSD/GPL"); /*  * This is the service routine for added /proc entry  * when user try to look into /proc/<entry added> this routine will be executed  *  * char *buf - below is page allocated by kernel and passed to service routine  * eof and start would be used only when using /proc for  * getting more than one page (usually page is 4KB)  * for complete info you could refer linux docs  */ int demo_read_fs(char *buf, char **start, off_t offset, int count, int *eof, void *data) {   int len=0;  len = sprintf(buf, "This is Demo proc fs cre...
