The Linux Kernel documentation

==============================

This is the top level of the kernel's documentation tree.  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.

Licensing documentation

-----------------------

The following describes the license of the Linux kernel source code

(GPLv2), how to properly mark the license of individual files in the source

tree, as well as links to the full license text.

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.

Application-developer documentation

-----------------------------------

The user-space API manual gathers together documents describing aspects of

the kernel interface as seen by application developers.

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.
