•Writing Device Drivers contains information that you need to develop device drivers on the Compaq Tru64 UNIX operating system.

•Writing Kernel Modules describes topics for all kernel modules such as kernel threads and writing kernel modules in a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) environment.

•Writing PCI Bus Device Drivers describes PCI bus-specific topics, including PCI bus architecture and data structures that PCI bus device drivers use.

•Writing VMEbus Device Drivers describes VMEbus-specific topics, including VMEbus architecture and routines that VMEbus device drivers use.

•The Guide to Preparing Product Kits describes how to create kernel (device driver) product kits and layered product kits.

•Kernel Debugging describes how to use the dbx, kdbx, and kdebug debuggers to find problems in kernel code. It also describes how to write a kdbx utility extension and how to create and analyze a crash dump file.

•Programming Support Tools describes several commands and utilities in the Tru64 UNIX system, including facilities for text manipulation, macro and program generation, and source file management.

•The Programmer’s Guide describes the programming environment of the Tru64 UNIX operating system, with an emphasis on the C programming language.

•The Network Programmer’s Guide describes the Tru64 UNIX network programming environment and provides information on STREAMS programming.

•System Administration describes how to configure, use, and maintain the Tru64 UNIX operating system.

Reference Pages

Tru64 UNIX reference pages (also called manpages) contain descriptions of the routines (Section 9r), data structures (Section 9s), loadable services routines (Section 9u), and global variables (Section 9v) that apply to device drivers.
