Documentation of the various AtheOS API's

Here you will find documentation of the various API's found in AtheOS both the highlevel C++ API and the lowlevel "C" API's available to applications and the device-driver API used when writing device and filesystem drivers for the kernel. There still is not very much documentation available though, especially of the low-level API's so the best advice if you want to learn how to programm for AtheOS is to look at the source-code of the various utilities/drivers available and also reading the header files to see what is available. Writing documentation isn't my favourite but I try to document new functionality as I implements it and also keep documenting existing functionality.

The highlevel documentation at least list all classes and their members but far from all members are properly documented.

The AtheOS V0.3.7 C++ API

The next two are very incompleat but it's a beginning. Only a very small subset of the actually available functions and syscalls are currently documented.

This documentation is also included in the base distribution of AtheOS. You can find the documentation under /atheos/Documentation after installing the base archive.
