The +% Linux Userspace API is the interfacebetween the Userspace and the Kernel. +% The main interface are the syscalls. The file systemcalls and the devide +% nodes allows specific HW access, without creating new syscalls. The pseudo +% filesystems also extends the Userspace API, by externalize structured +% information about the system to applications. The netlink sockets are +% mainly for managing and controling Kernel subsystems, like network. + +\subsection{Devices} +% ---------------------------- +\input{linux-basics/api/frm_devicenodes.tex} + +\subsection{Pseudo FS} +% ---------------------------- +\input{linux-basics/api/frm_proc.tex} + +% ---------------------------- +\input{linux-basics/api/frm_sysfs.tex} + +\subsection*{} +\input{tailpres} |
