1.. The Linux Kernel documentation master file, created by 2 sphinx-quickstart on Fri Feb 12 13:51:46 2016. 3 You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least 4 contain the root `toctree` directive. 5 6Welcome to The Linux Kernel's documentation 7=========================================== 8 9This is the top level of the kernel's documentation tree. Kernel 10documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress; 11that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered 12documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the 13documentation are welcome; join the linux-doc list at vger.kernel.org if 14you want to help out. 15 16User-oriented documentation 17--------------------------- 18 19The following manuals are written for *users* of the kernel — those who are 20trying to get it to work optimally on a given system. 21 22.. toctree:: 23 :maxdepth: 2 24 25 admin-guide/index 26 27Introduction to kernel development 28---------------------------------- 29 30These manuals contain overall information about how to develop the kernel. 31The kernel community is quite large, with thousands of developers 32contributing over the course of a year. As with any large community, 33knowing how things are done will make the process of getting your changes 34merged much easier. 35 36.. toctree:: 37 :maxdepth: 2 38 39 process/index 40 dev-tools/index 41 doc-guide/index 42 43Kernel API documentation 44------------------------ 45 46These books get into the details of how specific kernel subsystems work 47from the point of view of a kernel developer. Much of the information here 48is taken directly from the kernel source, with supplemental material added 49as needed (or at least as we managed to add it — probably *not* all that is 50needed). 51 52.. toctree:: 53 :maxdepth: 2 54 55 driver-api/index 56 core-api/index 57 media/index 58 gpu/index 59 security/index 60 sound/index 61 crypto/index 62 63Korean translations 64------------------- 65 66.. toctree:: 67 :maxdepth: 1 68 69 translations/ko_KR/index 70 71Chinese translations 72-------------------- 73 74.. toctree:: 75 :maxdepth: 1 76 77 translations/zh_CN/index 78 79Indices and tables 80================== 81 82* :ref:`genindex` 83
