Kernel to user space communication in linux:
=================================
3 different ways to communicate between kernel and userspace in Linux:
1) proc file system
2)ioctl
3) netlink
ioctl is the old mechanism. Speciality of netlink is we can send the command as multicast, so that different applications can receive the command.
