Is my module program is giving correct output?

[linux lover]

Hello all,
          While writing kernel module packet sniffer i
start with first accessing packets length 
and its data part.so, to start i try to access packet
data first and copy it to other variable to dump
its contents but i am facing a problem while accessing
the packet's data. As i have studied i 
found that data in packet at any layer resides in
between data and tail pointers.  So if i
have to print it or copy it in any unsigned string
then how to do that?
          I tried with following example which
receives packet and print data part at IP layer. But I
am not sure whether am i getting packet dump or
address of string packet?
Thanks in advance.
regards,
linux_lover
