The purpose of this section is to help you understand the operation of the kernel and its features.
|
|
|
|
|
This section also provides detailed information regarding the microkernel and the nanokernel
|
|
|
|
|
services. Finally, you can find the information regarding the kernel's drivers and networking
|
|
|
|
|
capabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This section does not replace the Application Program Interface
|
|
|
|
|
documentation, rather, it offers additional information. The examples should provide
|
|
|
|
|
you with enough insight to understand the functionality of the services but are not
|
|
|
|
|
meant to replace the detailed in-code documentation.
