libkos library

The libkos library is the basic KasperskyOS library that provides the set of APIs that allow programs and other libraries (for example, libc and kdf) to use core endpoints. The APIs provided by the libkos library enable solution developers to do the following:

• Manage processes, threads, and virtual memory.
• Control access to resources.
• Perform input/output operations.
• Create IPC channels.
• Manage power.
• Obtain statistical data on the system.
• Use other capabilities supported by core endpoints.

This section contains detailed descriptions for working with some libkos library interfaces. Descriptions of other interfaces can be found in corresponding header files.

The header files that define the libkos library API are located in the following directories:

• sysroot-*-kos/include/coresrv/
• sysroot-*-kos/include/kos/
