Hi

I need to insert kernel modules from a C application , is it possible
to do that without calling system("insmod ..")

Definitely. All you need to do is to take the insmod source code and
copy it into your application.
Simple as that. Open Source.


Hi, here goes the program.

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
setuid(0);
system("/sbin/insmod /.../yourmodule.ko");
system("/sbin/rmmod yourmodule");

return 0;

}

compile it with GCC, get back to me in case of any errors. i will be
more than glad to help.
