   3    You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least
   4    contain the root `toctree` directive.

   6 Welcome to The Linux Kernel's documentation
   7 ===========================================
   8
   9 This is the top level of the kernel's documentation tree.  Kernel
  10 documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress;
  11 that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered
  12 documents into a coherent whole.  Please note that improvements to the
  13 documentation are welcome; join the linux-doc list at vger.kernel.org if
  14 you want to help out.

  16 User-oriented documentation
  17 ---------------------------
  18
  19 The following manuals are written for *users* of the kernel — those who are
  20 trying to get it to work optimally on a given system.

  27 Introduction to kernel development
  28 ----------------------------------
  29
  30 These manuals contain overall information about how to develop the kernel.
  31 The kernel community is quite large, with thousands of developers
  32 contributing over the course of a year.  As with any large community,
  33 knowing how things are done will make the process of getting your changes
  34 merged much easier.

  43 Kernel API documentation
  44 ------------------------
  45
  46 These books get into the details of how specific kernel subsystems work
  47 from the point of view of a kernel developer.  Much of the information here
  48 is taken directly from the kernel source, with supplemental material added
  49 as needed (or at least as we managed to add it — probably *not* all that is
  50 needed).
