How do I access the routing table from the kernel?

Hello, everybody!

I was hoping somebody could help me with my problem. We're writing a
kernel module, which should be able to check if an address is in the
routing table. What is the right way to do this?

We have tried searching for a suitable function and the best we've found
is fib_lookup() (ip_fib.h). The module compiles fine, but when we try to
load it, we get 'unresolved symbol fib_lookup'.

Any suggestions? (i.e. if you where to do the same thing, how would you do
it?

Thanx for any help!

sorry, i am not a programmer but my idea would be to d/l the source code
of the 'route' program and search how it is done there
i have no idea if the same functions are available for kernel modules
and for userland utilities, just an idea.

good luck
