Components
Revision as of 22:37, 5 February 2008 by Michael (talk | contribs) (Modules moved to Components: They're called components in the Makefile, might as well call them the same here.)
XINU can be easily understood as consisting of conceptual "modules," "components," or subsystems. Most modules have their own initialization function that sets up global data structures necessary for the subsystem to function properly. The subsystems currently within XINU include:
- Loader
- System
- Process management
- Semaphores
- Memory allocation
- Interrupt subsystem
- Devices
- Shell (xsh)
- Mailbox
- Testsuite
- Libraries
- Standard C library
- nCurses
- Pthread (minimal)
