# Linux kernel module written in Zig

This is a proof-of-concept on how to integrate [zig](https://ziglang.org/) into

Linux kernel modules.

## USAGE

This assumes that you kernel headers installed.

In Debian based systems can be done using `apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)`.

```console

$ make

$ sudo insmod ./zig.ko

$ sudo rmmod zig

$ dmesg | grep 'kernel!'

[41188.642871] Hello kernel!

[41190.975214] Goodbye kernel!

```

If your Linux distribution does not install kernel headers to

`/lib/modules/*/build`, you can also set the `KERNELDIR` environment variable:

```console

make KERNELDIR=/path/to/headers/build

```

On NixOS spawn a nix-shell from the project root:

```console

nix-shell --command "make"

```

You might need to replace the Linux package in `default.nix` with the package matching your

loaded kernel.
