.Sh NAME
.Nm linuxkpi
.Nd Linux Kernel Programming Interface support
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
kernel module provides a limited KPI (kernel programming interface) to allow
Linux kernel drivers and other Linux kernel code to be compiled on
.Fx
and used along the
.Fx
kernel with little or no modification.
.Pp
While historically
.Em OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (Infiniband) ,
and certain vendor drivers have used
.Nm .
.Em drm-kmod
for graphics driver support
and
.Xr linuxkpi_wlan 4
for wireless drivers are prominent consumers.
.Pp
.Nm
is not to be confused with
.Xr linux 4
which provides limited Linux ABI (application binary interface) compatibility
to allow running Linux application binaries unmodified on
.Fx .
