kylux - Kyle's Unix A simple unix-like operating system, developed mainly as a learning experience in hopes that it will one day spawn the development of a parallel operating system. Begin date: Dec 2009 Primary Author: Kyle Racette Credits: OSDev, Bona Fide, James Malloy for his excellent os development tutorials and code, Pintos for being easy to work with and understand License: kylux is released under the terms of the GNU GPLv3. See LICENSE for more details. DIRECTORY STRUCTURE ======================================= Kylux is organized into several directories to make code easier to manage and understand. In the parent directory, one will find a src/ and include/ directories. They are direct mirrors of one another, with the sole difference being that include/ contains .h files, while src/ contains .c and .S files. In most cases, for every .c file, there will be a corresponding .h file. Not every .h file will have a corresponding .c file, but most will. Most assembly files (denoted with a .S extension) will not have a corresponding .h file. Within the src/ or include/ directories, one will find several other directories to organize different types of files. These directories and their purpose are listed below: arch/ - contains architecture-specific functions arch/XXX - contains functions specific to architecture XXX. lib/ - general purpose libraries and other shared files. These functions are not necessarily central to the kernel, but they are useful for general os-related operations. lib/kernel/ - kernel-specific libraries. Some files in here will include functions for operating on different data structures. Other files will provide functions for printing and formatting strings, dynamically allocating memory, and other common tasks. lib/user/ - libraries that will be made available to user-level programs. Some files in lib/ may provide backend functionality for kernel and user level libraries, such as printf and malloc. kernel/ - Other functions that are more specific to kylux but architecture-independant. These may include interrupt handlers, paging code, and scheduling code. test/ - Test files for testing various kernel functionality. util/ - Miscellaneous utilities that make development or testing more pleasant. misc/ - Things that don't belong in any other category. COMPILING ======================================= Kylux has a custom Makefile
