# The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide
2021-07-22 08:31:47 +08:00
This project keeps the Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide reasonably up to date, with [working examples ](examples/ ) for recent 5.x kernel versions.
2021-07-22 06:34:19 +08:00
The guide has been around since 2001 and most copies of it on the web only describe old 2.6.x kernels.
