How different is the FreeBSD kernel from the Linux kernel?
Like in terms of interfaces, if I were to port a device driver, am I just changing some header files and some constants/enums/ifdefs?
Or there’s like entirely different function signatures / APIs?
I would look at the source of LinuxKPI to get an idea of how different they are.
Well of course I could go look at the source code. We had to write a hello world Linux module in college. Was just being lazy and thought some expert might give a quick synopsis.
Though based on your reply, I’m guessing they are more different than I imagined.
