linux kernel查看,Linux kernel API的查看

通常来讲Linux上查看一些函数API的说明我们能够man一下。man 2是syscall，man 3是一些库的函数API。html

如下是man sections的一些说明linux

The table below shows the section numbers of the manual followed by the

types of pages they contain.shell

1 Executable programs or shell commands

2 System calls (functions provided by the kernel)

3 Library calls (functions within program libraries)

4 Special files (usually found in /dev)

5 File formats and conventions eg /etc/passwd

6 Games

7 Miscellaneous (including macro packages and conventions), e.g.

man(7), groff(7)

8 System administration commands (usually only for root)

9 Kernel routines [Non standard]ubuntu

A manual page consists of several sections.ide

其中能够发现，man 9是能够查看的，可是不是标准的，通常的是没有这个section的，因此即便man 9 kmalloc 也看不到这个函数例程的说明。函数

若是是ubuntu下，能够install linux-manual-$(uname -r)   大概是这样？就是相应内核的手册，或者install linux-doc，这个是html版本的。post
