===================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Documents interfaces that are felt to be stable,
|
||
|
|
as the main development of this interface has been completed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The interface can be changed to add new features, but the
|
||
|
|
current interface will not break by doing this, unless grave
|
||
|
|
errors or security problems are found in them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Userspace programs can start to rely on these interfaces, but they must
|
||
|
|
be aware of changes that can occur before these interfaces move to
|
||
|
|
be marked stable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Programs that use these interfaces are strongly encouraged to add their
|
||
|
|
name to the description of these interfaces, so that the kernel
|
||
|
|
developers can easily notify them if any changes occur.
