  <para>This book describes the design and principles of the HelenOS operating
8
  system from the perspective of its microkernel as well as from the
48 jermar 9
  perspective of its userspace drivers and server tasks. Its primary goal is
10
  to present ideas behind each subsystem and highlight things that are
11
  specific to HelenOS. Although this text contains references to source code
12
  (e.g. function names), these are provided only to improve reader's
13
  orientation when reading the code. This book does not attempt to be a
14
  substitute for a reference manual and the reader is strongly encouraged to
15
  look for interface details there.</para>
