       intro  -  Introduction  to  kernel  module  routines, data
       structures, and global variables

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       Section 9 describes the  routines,  data  structures,  and
       global  variables  used  to  develop  kernel  modules. The
       descriptions are presented  in  alphabetical  order.  Each
       reference page carries one of the following designators:

       9r

              Specifies a routine 9s

              Specifies a data structure 9v

              Specifies a global variable

       In  general,  each  reference page describes a single routine,
 data structure, or global variable. However, in some
       cases  it makes sense to describe more than one routine or
       data structure on the same page if they are  related.  For
       example, the same reference page describes both the printf
       and uprintf routines.

       For more information about kernel modules and related routines,
  data  structures,  and  global variables, refer to
       Writing Kernel Modules.
