Implementing file operation methods<\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n
\n
\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the previous article, we explored character driver file operation methods<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, let’s implement all those drivers file operation methods. <\/span><\/span>The best way to implement these methods is to copy the prototypes from the file operations structure.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Accessing File Operations Structure<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

To kickstart the implementation process, let’s navigate to the Linux source tree and open the include\/linux\/fs.h<\/code> file (Figure 1). <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Figure
Figure 1. Open \/include\/linux\/fs.h<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inside, we’ll find the file_operations<\/code> structure, which contains member elements that are essentially function pointers (Figure 2).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Figure
Figure 2. File operations<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

You have to maintain the same prototype. These arguments we actually discussed in the previous article. It’s better if you copy the prototype by referring to this structure.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/h3>\n

Implementing File Operation Functions<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

We’ll be initializing five file operation methods: llseek<\/code>, read<\/code>, write<\/code>, open<\/code>, and release<\/code>. Copy these member elements to a text file for reference (Figure 3).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Figure
Figure 3. Copy some file operations into text file<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Method Name Replacement<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now, let’s replace these placeholders with our custom method names for clarity and consistency. Rename (*llseek)<\/code> as pcd_lseek<\/code>, (*read)<\/code> as pcd_read<\/code>, (*write)<\/code> as pcd_write<\/code>, (*open)<\/code> as pcd_open<\/code>, and (*release)<\/code> as pcd_release<\/code>. Remove the semicolon and provide the function body as shown in Figure 4.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Figure
Figure 4. Replacing with our method name<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

These are our file operation methods. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Creating Method Variables<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

For each method, we need to create variables that match the data types specified in the prototypes.<\/span><\/p>\n

For llseek<\/code> first variable is a pointer to a file object. <\/span>Let me give a variable name filp<\/code> (file pointer). And next is offset<\/code> and whence<\/code>, as shown in Figure 5.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"file
Figure 5. Creating a variables to pcd_lseek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

For read<\/code>, create variables for the file pointer (filp<\/code>), buffer (buff<\/code>), count (count<\/code>), and file position (f_pos<\/code>) (Figure 6).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Figure
Figure 6. Creating a variables to pcd_read<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Similarly, for write<\/code>, create variables for the file pointer (filp<\/code>), constant char_user *,<\/code><\/span> buffer (buff<\/code>), count (count<\/code>), and file position (f_pos<\/code>) (Figure 7).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"file
Figure 7. Creating a variables to pcd_write<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

For open<\/code>, first is inode<\/code>. It is a pointer variable. This could be anything some people use to underscore, know how some people use Pinard. You can use anything you want. It’s just a variable name. Then is the file pointer (filp<\/code>) , as shown in Figure 8.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"file
Figure 8. Creating a variables to pcd_open<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, for release<\/code> the same,<\/span> create variables for the inode (inode<\/code>) and the file pointer (filp<\/code>) (Figure 9).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"file
Figure 9. Creating a variables to pcd_release<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We just created  variables for our methods.  <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adding Return Values<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

All these methods have return values, which we’ll set to 0 for now (Figure 10). We can later refine these return values to handle errors more effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"file
Figure 10. Adding Return value to the methods<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

And now, let’s copy these methods. Let’s go to our project, open our main.c, <\/span>and now you have to paste all these methods before this file operation variable. <\/span>Let’s paste as shown in Figure 11.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"file
Figure 11. Copy the methods into main.c<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

And after that, our next step is to initialize this file operation variable with <\/span>these methods. Before doing that, let’s save and exit and just do make. And you should not through any errors, as shown in Figure 12.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Complete upto here, and in the next article, let’s initialize our file operation variable<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
