how to print socket data structures

[Innovator]

As far as I know there is a task_struct stcuture which relates all the data related to the process.
In case of socket there is no socket pointer in task_struct . then how to relate the socket data structure of a process through task_struct ????
Is there another method to do so ??
I want to know the deifferences between data structure of two sockets (AF_UNIX) for this I want to print this data structure . So, I cant print it without the use of task_struct and also I tried including the pointer of socket in task_struct there are many pointers which I need to include as only socket pointer doesnot contain socket info there are other stucture like sock,sock_common .Also including these pointer and their related .h files gives lots of errors during compiling.
Also printk can print all the data structures but there are many files which are related to socket. So we can miss out many things and also it will take lots of time and is inefficient.
So my idea was to create a kernel module with parameter as pid which will print all the socket data through task_struct. If not possible through task_struct then how to do so??????
Hence ,I want to know How the kernel relates the socket data structures and the corresponding process.
Plzzzzz help me out!!!!!

Can you try this module.

#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/fs.h>
#include <linux/pid.h>
#include <linux/net.h>
#include <linux/sched.h>
#include <linux/fdtable.h>

unsigned int pidnr = 1;

module_param(pidnr, uint, 0644);

int mod_init(void)
{
struct file *file;
struct socket *sock;
int fd = 0;
struct inode *inode;
struct task_struct *task;
struct pid *mypid;
struct files_struct *files;

mypid = find_vpid(pidnr);
if (!mypid) {
return -ESRCH;
}

task = pid_task(mypid, PIDTYPE_PID);
if (!task) {
printk("\nNo Such Process\n");
return -ESRCH;
}

printk("\nProcess %s\n", task->comm);

files = task->files;

rcu_read_lock();
file = fcheck_files(files, fd);
rcu_read_unlock();
while(file) {
inode = file->f_path.dentry->d_inode;
if (S_ISSOCK(inode->i_mode)) {

}
fd++;

THANKS !! for your reply.. It really helped!!.

THANKS !! for your reply.. It really helped!!.

To access the struct sock you need to include <net/sock.h> and you can access it like this in the
above module

#include <net/sock.h>

struct sock *sk;

sk = sock->sk;

Sir, how to access the msghdr pointer for socket??
We could not find any structure which contains the pointer for msghdr
eg:socket structure and sock structure etc.
Sock is in socket so we can access it but then how to access msghdr
Same is the problem with sk_buff;

Actually, I want to print the difference in the variables of two client programs(using AF_UNIX sockets) which are connected to the same server.
For example for two open file can be distinguished by their inode , etc
Similar what are the variables related to the sockets that differ between the two clients??
Is it that only the socket discriptor and the run time buffer for the two clients changes?? or there are other variables also that differ??
Because I have tried printing the socket structure variables and sock structure variables but there is no major change between the variables for the two clients..
I am very confused
Plzzzz help... :'(
