NAME
rumpuser
- rump user namespace helper routines
LIBRARY
rump User Library (librumpuser, -lrumpuser)
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
rumpuser
is a user namespace helper library for runnable userspace meta programs.
From rump emulation code compiled with
-D_KERNEL
is it not possible to directly call routines such as system calls
for reading and writing files or devices.
This is where
rumpuser
comes into play by providing a bridge between the two namespaces.
Another example of its services is a way to call pthread routines,
used for emulating kernel threads and synchronization mechanisms
in rump.
