===================================
# 0: General Information:
===================================
- ABI and Format: PEF/PE32+.
- Kernel architecture: Portable hybrid Kernel.
- Used Languages: C++, and Assembly Assembly (AMD64, X64000, X86S, ARM64, POWER, RISCV)
- 32-bit is not supported as of 12/25/2025.
===================================
# 1: The Kernel (NeKernel)
===================================
- Drive/Device Abstraction.
- SMP, Preemptive Multi Threading.
- Separation of Files/Devices.
- Networking Support.
- Hardware Abstraction Layer.
- Native Filesystem support (NeFS, FAT32 and ffs2).
- Program Loaders interfaces.
- TLS (Thread Local Storage) support.
- BinaryMutex, Locks, Timers.
- Canary mechanisms.
- Dynamic Loader.
- Cross Platform.
- Permission Selectors.
- Modular and Security focused.
===================================
# 2: The Filesystem (NeFS)
===================================
- Catalog object with associated forks.
- Large storage support.
- Long file names.
- UNIX path style.
- Can be formated under 8mb.
==================================
# 3: Common Codebase Conventions:
==================================
- Kernel -> ke_init_x
- RunTime -> rt_copy_mem
- Hal -> hal_foo_bar
- Class methods -> Class::FooBar
- Internals function shall be formated as such: (hali, rtli, rti...)
===================================
# 4: The Bootloader (BootZ):
===================================
- Capable of booting from a network drive.
- Loads a PE file which is the Kernel, or any modules.
- Sanity checks, based on the number of sections.
- Handover compliant.
- Does check for a valid partition (useful in the case of recovering)
- Modular, and Security focused.
===================================
# 5: The IFS/FileMgr:
==================================
- Filesystem to mountpoint interface abstraction.
- Multi-drive support (A, B, C, D indices).
- Packet-based I/O operations.
- Separation of read/write operations per drive.
===================================
# 6: The TraceSrv:
==================================
- Opcode Based Debug System.
- Defines 'String', and 'Source' messages are foundational message types.
- Packet Based Messages with a 'type' field. The 'type' field shall decide how the message shall be interpreted.
