# ksort
A Linux kernel module that creates the device `/dev/sort`, capable of performing concurrent sorts.
## User access to the character device
In order to access the character device as a user you need to add a rule to
udev with the included rules file.
```
$ sudo cp 99-xoro.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
$ sudo cp 99-sort.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
$ sudo udevadm control --reload
```
## Build and Test
Build from source:
```shell
$ make
```
Test:
```shell
$ make check
```
You should see also more messages in the kernel log.
