kapi

kapi is a no_std Rust crate that provides a small Linux kernel compatibility layer for this workspace.

It implements a subset of commonly used kernel-style C APIs in Rust so loadable kernel modules can resolve expected symbols at load time.

What It Provides

• String and memory helpers such as strlen, strcmp, memcpy, and memmove
• String-to-number conversion helpers such as kstrtoull, kstrtoint, and kstrtobool
• Kernel parameter operations such as param_ops_int, param_ops_bool, and param_ops_charp

Feature Flags

• kstr: string, memory, and parsing helpers
• kmem: memory duplication helpers
• kparameter: kernel parameter operation tables and handlers

In This Project

kapi is part of the rkm workspace and is used as a compatibility/symbol-provider crate for kernel module loading and runtime support.

Status

The crate is intentionally small and focused. It currently covers the APIs needed by the surrounding loader and module infrastructure, with room to grow as compatibility needs expand.
