19 Description: Solaris Porting Layer user-space utilities for Linux
20 The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides
21 many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to
22 run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal
23 modification. The Solaris Porting LAyer Tests (SPLAT) is a Linux kernel
24 module which provides a testing harness for the SPL module.
25 .
26 SPL can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Illumos
27 (or any other OpenSolaris fork) development closely and don't want the
28 overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives
29 to Linux primitives.
30 .
31 This package includes the user space utilities needed to test and debug
32 the SPL and SPLAT kernel modules.
