NAME
       intro  -	 Introduction  to kernel module routines, data structures, and
       global variables

DESCRIPTION
       Section 9 describes the routines, data structures, and global variables
       used  to	 develop  kernel  modules.  The	 descriptions are presented in
       alphabetical order. Each reference page carries one  of	the  following
       designators:

       9r

	      Specifies a routine 9s

	      Specifies a data structure 9v

	      Specifies a global variable

       In general, each reference page describes a single routine, data struc‐
       ture, or global variable. However, in some  cases  it  makes  sense  to
       describe	 more  than  one routine or data structure on the same page if
       they are related. For example, the same reference page  describes  both
       the printf and uprintf routines.

       For  more  information  about kernel modules and related routines, data
       structures, and global variables, refer to Writing Kernel Modules.
