Question about EXPORT_SYMBOL

Hi,
suppose I have writed a new device driver and I want to export a function 
that must be used from a process in user space. (such open(), close(), 
etc...). Can I use for this the macro EXPORT_SYMBOL?  If not, I must write a 
new system call? With the macro EXPORT_SYMBOL I can only export new function 
visible at kernel level? What is the best way to export a function for user 
space?

Thanks to all!!
Tiziano
