EXPERIMENTAL: Linux Kernel Library (LKL) utilities

LKL (Linux Kernel Library) is aiming to allow reusing the Linux kernel code as extensively as possible with minimal effort and reduced maintenance overhead. Examples of how LKL can be used are: creating userspace applications (running on Linux and other operating systems) that can read or write Linux filesystems or can use the Linux networking stack, creating kernel drivers for other operating systems that can read Linux filesystems, bootloaders support for reading/writing Linux filesystems, etc. With LKL, the kernel code is compiled into an object file that can be directly linked by applications. The API offered by LKL is based on the Linux system call interface. WARNING: LKL is EXPERIMENTAL; using it could cause data corruption!
