5This is the beginning of a manual for core kernel APIs.  The conversion
6(and writing!) of documents for this manual is much appreciated!

8Core utilities
9==============
10
11This section has general and "core core" documentation.  The first is a
12massive grab-bag of kerneldoc info left over from the docbook days; it
13should really be broken up someday when somebody finds the energy to do
14it.
