1Welcome to Haiku internals's documentation! 2=========================================== 3 4 5Target audience 6--------------- 7 8This documentation is aimed at people who want to contribute to Haiku by modifying the operating 9system itself. It covers various topics, both technical (how things work) and organizational 10(patch submission process, for example). 11 12This document might also be useful to application developers trying to understand the behavior of 13the operating system in some specific cases, however, the `API documentation <https://api.haiku-os.org>`_ should answer most of 14the questions in this area already. 15 16This documentation assumes basic knowledge of C++ and the Be API, if you need more information 17about that, please see the `Learning to program with Haiku <https://github.com/theclue/programming-with-haiku/releases/tag/v1.1>`_ book. 18 19Status of this document 20----------------------- 21 22The work on this book has just started, many sections are incomplete or missing. Here is a list of 23other resources that could be useful: 24 25* The `Haiku website <https://www.haiku-os.org>`_ has several years of blog posts and articles 26 documenting many aspects of the system, 27* The `Coding guidelines <https://www.haiku-os.org/development/coding-guidelines/>`_ describes how code should be formatted, 28* The `User guide <https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/contents.html>`_ documents Haiku from the users' point of view and can be useful to understand how things are supposed to work, 29* The `Haiku Interface Guidelines <https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/HIG/index.xml>`_ document graphical user interface conventions, 30* The `Haiku Icon Guidelines <https://www.haiku-os.org/development/icon-guidelines>`_ gives some rules for making icons fitting with the style of the existing ones. 31 32Table of contents 33----------------- 34 35* :ref:`search` 36 37.. toctree:: 38 :maxdepth: 2 39 :caption: Contents: 40 41 /build/index 42 /release/index 43 /apps/haikudepot/server 44 /midi/index 45 /net/NetworkStackOverview 46 /net/HowTo-Synchronize_with_NetBSD 47 /packages/README 48 /servers/app_server/toc 49 /servers/registrar/Protocols 50 /kernel/device_manager_introduction 51 /kernel/obsolete_pnp_manager 52 /kernel/vm/swap_file_support 53 /kernel/arch/long_double 54 /kernel/arch/arm/overview 55 /kernel/arch/m68k/overview 56 /kernel/arch/ppc/overview 57 /kernel/arch/sparc/overview 58 /kernel/fs/node_monitoring 59 /file_systems/overview 60 /partitioning_systems/sun 61 /drivers/disk/ioctls 62 /drivers/intel_extreme/generations 63 /busses/agp_gart/ReadMe 64 /busses/bluetooth/overview 65 /busses/sdhci/sdhci_mmc_driver 66 /busses/usb/USB_stack_design 67 /kernel/boot/boot_process_specs.rst 68 /kernel/boot/Debugging_Bootloaders_GEF 69 /kernel/pci_serial_debug 70 71
