Is it possible to create a file that is located starting at such a specific address?

Do you actually need it to act like a file or are you OK with just reading as if it were an array or struct address?

My main aim is to understand the workings of the kernel a little bit better. For this reason I would like to verify what is stored in the first few hundred memory locations. e.g in x202 the signature HdrS is supposed to be stored. So to answer your question: Any which way that would get me on the screen the memory content of preselected locations would do. Jing Su has pointed out one way to accomplish this. My C programming is rusty and it will therefore take some time to follow up his lead. Any other suggestion will be very much appreciated. Thanks, John -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
