| 2 | =================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Documents interfaces that are felt to be stable, |
| 5 | as the main development of this interface has been completed. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The interface can be changed to add new features, but the |
| 8 | current interface will not break by doing this, unless grave |
| 9 | errors or security problems are found in them. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Userspace programs can start to rely on these interfaces, but they must |
| 12 | be aware of changes that can occur before these interfaces move to |
| 13 | be marked stable. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Programs that use these interfaces are strongly encouraged to add their |
| 16 | name to the description of these interfaces, so that the kernel |
| 17 | developers can easily notify them if any changes occur. |
