Printk: Applications & Standards

printk is a printf-like function of the Linux kernel interface for formatting and writing kernel log entries. Since the C standard library (which contains the ubiquitous printf-like functions) is not available in kernel mode, printk provides for general-purpose output in the kernel. Due to limitations of the kernel design, the function is often used to…
