1 | .. The Linux Kernel documentation master file, created by |
| 2 | sphinx-quickstart on Fri Feb 12 13:51:46 2016. | |
| 3 | You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least | |
| 4 | contain the root `toctree` directive. | |

6 | Welcome to The Linux Kernel's documentation |
| 7 | =========================================== | |

9 | This is the top level of the kernel's documentation tree. Kernel |
| 10 | documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress; | |
| 11 | that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered | |
| 12 | documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the | |
| 13 | documentation are welcome; join the linux-doc list at vger.kernel.org if | |
| 14 | you want to help out. | |

| 16 | User-oriented documentation | |
| 17 | --------------------------- | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | The following manuals are written for *users* of the kernel — those who are | |
| 20 | trying to get it to work optimally on a given system. | |

27 | Application-developer documentation |
| 28 | ----------------------------------- | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | The user-space API manual gathers together documents describing aspects of | |
| 31 | the kernel interface as seen by application developers. | |

39 | Introduction to kernel development |
| 40 | ---------------------------------- | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | These manuals contain overall information about how to develop the kernel. | |
| 43 | The kernel community is quite large, with thousands of developers | |
| 44 | contributing over the course of a year. As with any large community, | |
| 45 | knowing how things are done will make the process of getting your changes | |
| 46 | merged much easier. | |

| 56 | Kernel API documentation | |
| 57 | ------------------------ | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | These books get into the details of how specific kernel subsystems work | |
| 60 | from the point of view of a kernel developer. Much of the information here | |
| 61 | is taken directly from the kernel source, with supplemental material added | |
| 62 | as needed (or at least as we managed to add it — probably *not* all that is | |
| 2069889f | 63 | needed). |
