UNSW Computer Science and Engineering Technical Report no. UNSW-CSE-TR-9801 (59 pages: file 9801.pdf) Title: L4 User Manual Authors: Alan Au, Gernot Heiser Department of Computer Systems School of Computer Science and Engineering University of New South Wales Sydney 2052 Australia E-mail: {alanau,gernot}@cse.unsw.edu.au Abstract: This document is a user manual for the L4 micro-kernel. It gives an introduction to the main concepts and features of L4, and explains their use by a number of examples. The manual is generally platform independent, however, examples are based on the C interface for L4/MIPS. Actual system call C bindings and data formats differ slightly on other platforms. This document supplements, rather than replaces, the L4 Reference Manual, and anyone intending to write an applications on top of L4 should obtain the L4 Reference Manual for their particular platform. https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~reports/papers/9801.pdf
