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 /midi/index 44 /net/index 45 /packages/README 46 /servers/app_server/toc 47 /servers/registrar/Protocols 48 /kernel/index 49 /file_systems/index 50 /drivers/index 51 /apps/haikudepot/server 52 53
