|
| 6 | Documents interfaces that are felt to be stable,
|
| 7 | as the main development of this interface has been completed.
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 | The interface can be changed to add new features, but the
|
| 10 | current interface will not break by doing this, unless grave
|
| 11 | errors or security problems are found in them.
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 | Userspace programs can start to rely on these interfaces, but they must
|
| 14 | be aware of changes that can occur before these interfaces move to
|
| 15 | be marked stable.
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 | Programs that use these interfaces are strongly encouraged to add their
|
| 18 | name to the description of these interfaces, so that the kernel
|
| 19 | developers can easily notify them if any changes occur.
