/* Put data into the proc fs file.

 Arguments

 =========

 1. The buffer where the data is to be inserted, if you decide to use it.

 2. A pointer to a pointer to characters. This is useful if you don't want to use the buffer allocated by the kernel.

 3. The current position in the file.

 4. The size of the buffer in the first argument.

 5. Zero (for future use?).

Usage and Return Value

 ======================

 If you use your own buffer, like I do, put its location in the second argument and return the number of bytes used in the buffer.

 A return value of zero means you have no further information at this time (end of file). A negative return value is an error condition.

 For More Information

 ====================

 The way I discovered what to do with this function wasn't by reading documentation, but by reading the code which used it. I just looked to see what uses the get_info field of proc_dir_entry struct (I used a combination of find and grep, if you're interested), and I saw that it is used in <kernel source directory>/fs/proc/array.c.

 If something is unknown about the kernel, this is usually the way to go. In Linux we have the great advantage of having the kernel source code for free - use it.

 /* We give all of our information in one go, so if the

 * user asks us if we have more information the

 * answer should always be no.

 *

 * This is important because the standard read

 * function from the library would continue to issue

 * the read system call until the kernel replies

 * that it has no more information, or until its * buffer is filled. */
