This guide contains information needed by systems engineers to write kernel modules for the Compaq Tru64TM UNIX® (formerly DIGITAL UNIX) operating system. It includes topics useful for device driver developers who would benefit from having an intermediate layer of code between the driver software and physical devices. It would also benefit third-party developers who want to augment the kernel with modules tailored to their particular environment.
