what is this?
-------------

this source codes and text files cover my research on linux kernel
manipulation using direct memory access (/dev/mem). What you will
find are utils for basic kernel manipulation (reading / writing),
a utility for finding a given symbol in the kernel (providing its
virtual address in the kernel) and a api for building kernel patches.
Those patches are, effectivly, applieable to any linux kernel and
provied the same functionality as a kernel module. With the little
difference that you do not need to (re)compile it and you do not
need native module support. Of course, the patch would not register
itself to the module table ;)


how does it work?
-----------------

See the doc/ directory for the long version. Short version: see
above :) 


compiling
---------

needed for compiling: c/c++ compiler and some generic unix tools.
just type ``make''. if you wonder about the strange things happening
take a look or two into the doc/'s.
Dont forget to take a look into MakeOpt.


using
-----

well, if you havnt already got at this point where to look you better
turn to something else.
