They've been stripped down for +namespace cleanliness, omission of anything kernel-internal, and to +focus just on the interfaces where kernel headers are actually +necessary/useful (mainly special hardware access and configuration). + +At present this package is highly incomplete. These headers were +originally packaged as part of musl libc, but I moved them to their +own dedicated repository to avoid potentially overwriting official +kernel headers when musl is upgraded. + +These headers may be used without installation by adding the include +directory on the compiler's command line, or may be installed by +copying all the directories under include to a directory in the system +include search path (such as /usr/include). |
