LINUXKPI(4)		    Kernel Interfaces Manual		   LINUXKPI(4)

NAME
       linuxkpi	-- Linux Kernel	Programming Interface support

DESCRIPTION
       The  linuxkpi  kernel module provides a limited KPI (kernel programming
       interface) to allow Linux kernel	drivers	and other Linux	kernel code to
       be compiled on FreeBSD and used along the FreeBSD kernel	with little or
       no modification.

       While historically OpenFabrics  Enterprise  Distribution	 (Infiniband),
       and  certain  vendor drivers have used linuxkpi.	 drm-kmod for graphics
       driver support and linuxkpi_wlan(4) for wireless	drivers	are  prominent
       consumers.

       linuxkpi	 is  not  to  be confused with linux(4)	which provides limited
       Linux ABI (application binary interface)	compatibility to allow running
       Linux application binaries unmodified on	FreeBSD.
