Apart from the links Sam gave you, I'd suggest you look at "The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System" by Kirk McKusick and George Neville-Neil. As a general introduction, you might like to look through "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey (http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/). > Also, the header packages used at the system level code and >kernel level code were different. Yes. The internal kernel interfaces are defined in the section 9 man pages. --=20 Peter Jeremy --7gGkHNMELEOhSGF6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFF6U4i/opHv/APuIcRAgiMAJ9uGh5fRnfpPM7xynz9Hb9KhqxxXgCeLehz UYxDUAxlR6FNlglMdTCMWp4= =bxAP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --7gGkHNMELEOhSGF6--
