FreeBSD Kernel Source:
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the source files and build glue that make up the FreeBSD
|
|
kernel and its modules, including both original and contributed software.
|
|
|
|
Kernel configuration files are located in the `conf/` subdirectory of each
|
|
architecture. `GENERIC` is the configuration used in release builds. `NOTES`
|
|
contains documentation of all possible entries. `LINT` is a compile-only
|
|
configuration used to maximize build coverage and detect regressions.
|
|
|
|
Documentation:
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Source code documentation is maintained in a set of man pages, under section 9.
|
|
These pages are located in [`share/man/man9`](../share/man/man9), from the
|
|
top-level of the src tree. Consult [`intro(9)`](https://man.freebsd.org/intro/9)
|
|
for an overview of existing pages.
|
|
|
|
Some additional high-level documentation of the kernel is maintained in the
|
|
[Architecture Handbook](https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/arch-handbook/).
