Bekley Packet Flter

I´m using the Berkley Packet Filter for watching some packets on the
network. Can we configure the bpf device file into the /dev folder… if so
do we need to build the main kernel again ?

Any help in this direction wud be appreciated.

Regards,
Harshit.

QNX doesn’t really work that way. :wink: Entries in /dev are done on the
fly since everything is handled as resource managers. Is there a problem
with it being in /dev/socket? (I think that is where it appears now).

It is in /dev/socket/bpf, if you really want it in /dev, just like them.

ln -sP socket/bpf /dev/bpf0
