Hi, everyone,
I would like to start a project to enable running a
driver in usr mode
as an application.
Are you sure? What about performance, i.e. user-level vs. kernel-level?
By this way we can leverage source code from other

into Solaris user application.

Speaking as the leader of the Systems Administration community, I'd
have to say that the endorsement function is a manual process and
