  • 05:0405:04, 27 December 2025 diff hist +8,748 N Kernel: vnode and vfs Created page with "IRIX’s VFS (Virtual File System) and vnode architecture is conceptually similar to many UNIX-derived systems (BSD, System V, Solaris), but with some IRIX-specific behavior layering and STREAMS integration. The vnode system provides a uniform abstraction for all filesystem objects, enabling the kernel to operate generically on files, directories, FIFOs, and devices without knowing the underlying filesystem implementation. === 1. Vnode: Abstract File Object === * Purpo..." current Tag: Visual edit

It intentionally avoids implementation details and code structure, focusing instead on externally visible semantics, internal contracts, and compatibility considerations. == 1. Design philosophy == IRIX treats <code>poll(2)</code> as the fundamental readiness-notificat..." current Tag: Visual edit

  • 07:2407:24, 24 December 2025 diff hist +743 N Historical Nekoware Created page with "This page documents the historical '''Nekoware''' project prior to 2018. Nekoware grew out of admin of Nekochan.net, "nekonoko", attempting to port software during and after Freeware was no longer updated. The current Nekoware distribution is based on, but incompatible with, the build criteria and standards partially established. == Differences from Modern Nekoware == Of note, the following major differences are to be observed: # Old nekoware was built w..." current Tag: Visual edit

  • 04:2004:20, 18 December 2025 diff hist +439 N Smbfs Created page with "'''smbfs''' or '''Samba''' is a protocol for sharing files similar to NFS, or sshfs. It is historically associated with Microsoft due to its formation on DOS and Netware systems. == Support on IRIX == IRIX never has properly supported smbfs in any practical manner from the kernel. Old Nekoware ports of the userspace tools exist as well as Sharity and Kerberos modules. It should be considered '''deprecated''' for most use cases." current Tag: Visual edit

Version: 1.0 Date: 2025-12-02 Status: Draft — targeted for Kindler 1.0 release == Purpose == This document defines the Kindler Intermediate Representation (IR) 1.0: a stable, deterministic, and minimal model used by Kindler and its tooling to describe projects, targets, and build artifacts for C and C++ (initial release). The IR is the canonical in-memory model used by Kindler’s parsers, validators, toolchain modules, and exp..." current Tag: Visual edit

The goal here is to build a formal specification through reading and analyzing files. We do not intend to use disassembly or other methods to RE these formats if possible. == <code>/var/inst</code> — per-product record file format == === Overview === A product record file stores metadata for a single installed product.
