1 | ABI testing symbols |
2 | =================== | |
3 | ||
4 | Documents interfaces that are felt to be stable, | |
5 | as the main development of this interface has been completed. | |
6 | ||
7 | The interface can be changed to add new features, but the | |
8 | current interface will not break by doing this, unless grave | |
9 | errors or security problems are found in them. | |
10 | ||
11 | Userspace programs can start to rely on these interfaces, but they must | |
12 | be aware of changes that can occur before these interfaces move to | |
13 | be marked stable. | |
14 | ||
15 | Programs that use these interfaces are strongly encouraged to add their | |
16 | name to the description of these interfaces, so that the kernel | |
17 | developers can easily notify them if any changes occur. | |
