ChorusOS API Restrictions

The ChorusOS operating system provides a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) for the development of everything from board support packages to network drivers and subsystems to POSIX compatible applications. However, indescriminately mixing functions from different APIs in the same program could lead to disaster.

The ChorusOS API Classification model defines ChorusOS APIs in terms of specific classes and highlights the restrictions that exist between APIs of each class. For the complete API Classfication model, see the API(5FEA) man page.
