Subject: dlopen in kernel mode

[please cc [email protected]]
Dear all,

Are there any alternatives for dlopen(), dlsym() and dlclose() in
kernel mode? Basicly, I need to load an executable object file and
execute an specific function in it.

Best regards,
moji

You could create a kernel module; but the .so files used in userspace,
in general, cannot be loaded.
