| 45 | jermar | 7 | <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> |
