Kernel +documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress; +that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered +documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the +documentation are welcome; join the linux-doc list at vger.kernel.org if +you want to help out. + +User-oriented documentation +--------------------------- + +The following manuals are written for *users* of the kernel — those who are +trying to get it to work optimally on a given system. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 + admin-guide/index + +Introduction to kernel development +---------------------------------- + +These manuals contain overall information about how to develop the kernel. +The kernel community is quite large, with thousands of developers +contributing over the course of a year. As with any large community, +knowing how things are done will make the process of getting your changes +merged much easier. + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 2 + + process/index + dev-tools/index kernel-documentation - development-process/index - dev-tools/tools + +Kernel API documentation +------------------------ + +These books get into the details of how specific kernel subsystems work +from the point of view of a kernel developer. Much of the information here +is taken directly from the kernel source, with supplemental material added +as needed (or at least as we managed to add it — probably *not* all that is +needed). + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 2 + driver-api/index + core-api/index media/index gpu/index 80211/index + security/index sound/index +Korean translations +------------------- + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 + + translations/ko_KR/index + Indices and tables ================== |
