Why?

• Because I'm taking COSC440 - Advanced Operating Systems at the University of Otago, which teaches Linux kernel module development with character devices
• Because I thought it would be funny

Building

First, make sure your system's set up for kernel module development (install gcc, make, the kernel headers, etc). Then run make module to build the module, and make load to load it.

Usage

It's a read-only character device at /dev/tcdtne. Do what you like with it.
