Kernel Lua I/O Bindings

The goal of this project is to build I/O - currently file systems and sockets - bindings for NetBSD kernel Lua.

Research

Grasping kernel subsystems is a daunting task; this section contains a few summaries, byproduct of code reading and research into the I/O and networking subsystems of the NetBSD kernel.

• VFS and NetBSD VFS implementation overview
• NetBSD I/O Subsystem overview
• NetBSD Networking Subsystem overview (soon)
• Kernel Lua I/O API Specification
• Socket module API

Implementation

Directories under src:

• io: port of Lua 'io' module to NetBSD kernel Lua
• socket: socket library to kernel Lua
• staging: contains any code I wrote to see how things work
• progs: some Lua programs using io and socket libraries
