This sets PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and runs init scripts for the new root. In the future this could replace the entire set of services that should run, restarting any services for which a newer executable is available in the new root and stopping any services which don't exist in the new root. This behavior could also be useful for soft-reboots in the future to handle updates without rebooting the entire system.
Base
Repository containing various system daemons, that are considered fundamental for the OS.
You can see what each component does in the following list:
- audiod : Daemon used to process the sound drivers audio
- bootstrap : First code that the kernel executes, responsible for spawning the init daemon
- daemon : Redox daemon library
- drivers
- init : Daemon used to start most system components and programs
- initfs : Filesystem with the necessary system components to run RedoxFS
- ipcd : Daemon used for inter-process communication
- logd : Daemon used to log system components and daemons
- netstack : Daemon used for networking
- ptyd : Daemon used for pseudo-terminal
- ramfs : RAM filesystem
- randd : Daemon used for random number generation
- zerod : Daemon used to discard all writes and fill read buffers with zero
How To Contribute
To learn how to contribute you need to read the following document:
If you want to contribute to drivers read its README
Development
To learn how to do development with these system components inside the Redox build system you need to read the Build System and Coding and Building pages.
How To Build
To build this system component you need to download the Redox build system, you can learn how to do it on the Building Redox page.
This is necessary because they only work with cross-compilation to a Redox virtual machine or real hardware, but you can do some testing from Linux.
