Developer’s Reference

OpenSolaris ON Developer's Reference Guide

The Developers Reference is big. Really, really big. I mean, you just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. -- Mike Kupfer

 The Developer's Reference (this document, also known as the DevRef) is intended to be a comprehensive document for developers who work on the OS/Net (ON) part of OpenSolaris. Because the DevRef is so big, community participation is important to help keep it useful. One way to help is to suggest changes on the on-discuss mailing list--anything from a vague idea to actual text is welcome. You can also submit bugs against the DevRef on bugs.opensolaris.org (category consolidation/os-net-docs).
