.SH NAME

|
intro \- introduction to kernel functions
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This section of the manual
|
|
describes the functions publicly available to the authors of
|
|
kernel code, particularly device drivers (real and virtual).
|
|
This section will eventually be much expanded, but this makes a start.

The
|
|
.SM SYNOPSIS
|
|
subsections do not show the header files needed for
|
|
the standard kernel declarations.
|
|
The primary combinations summarised below:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.RS
|
|
.ta \w'\fL#include 'u
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B
|
|
#include "u.h"
|
|
.B
|
|
#include "../port/lib.h"
|
|
.B
|
|
#include "mem.h"
|
|
.B
|

#include "dat.h"
|

#include "fns.h"

#include "../port/error.h"
|
|

|
|

#include "../ip/ip.h"
|

.PP
|
|
.I "furthermore, in hardware device drivers:"
|

#include "io.h"

#include "../port/netif.h"

|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
There might also be specific include files needed by
|
|
drivers on particular platforms or to use specialised kernel interfaces.
|
|
The easiest method is to check the source of likely-looking drivers nearby.
