To get the most out of this book

This book assumes a medium level of understanding of the Linux operating system and basic knowledge of C programming (at least data structures, pointer handling, and memory allocation). All code examples have been tested with Linux kernel v5.10. If additional skill is required for a given chapter, links to document references will be provided for you to quickly learn these skills.

Other necessary packages are described in the dedicated chapter in the book. Internet connectivity is required for kernel source downloading.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book's GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
