memory in kernel and user land

[D Cleveland <dc7525@ship.edu>]

I am looking for some simple method of exchanging data between the kernel
and a user process.  basically i cant use the proc filesystem.  so im
looking for something along these lines:

------- in kernel module
char my_array[80];

strcpy(my_array,"Hello");
//export the variable somehow into user space


---------- in user process
//import the variable from kernel space
printf("Kernel says: %s", my_array);



Ive tried to find example/documentation but i havent been successful.
thank you very very much for all your help!

Dan
