- Core API Documentation
- ======================
- This is the beginning of a manual for core kernel APIs. The conversion
- (and writing!) of documents for this manual is much appreciated!
- Core utilities
- ==============
- This section has general and "core core" documentation. The first is a
- massive grab-bag of kerneldoc info left over from the docbook days; it
- should really be broken up someday when somebody finds the energy to do
- it.
