# Rust crate for RISCovite
This crate implements system calls for the RISCovite operating system, and
then various higher-level helpers in terms of those. It could perhaps be
thought of as an alternative `std` that's focused on RISCovite concepts,
although it can also be used alongside `std` in the same program.
The RISCovite userspace execution environment is still evolving itself, and
so nothing here is a finalized interface and everything is subject to change.
## What is RISCovite anyway?
RISCovite is a small-scale personal computing platform that is "optimized for
fun". It takes inspiration from the personal computer platforms of the 80s
and 90s, but is designed to run on hardware that's manufactured today (in the
2020s).
At the time of writing this readme RISCovite itself is still under heavy
development and so for now this library is just a snapshot of a subset of the
system call API as it currently exists.
