Linux kernel interfaces

The Linux kernel provides multiple interfaces to user-space and kernel-mode code that are used for varying purposes and that have varying properties by design. There are two types of application programming interface (API) in the Linux kernel:

  1. the "kernel–user space" API; and
  2. the "kernel internal" API.
