This book provides information about kernel services, device driver operations, file system operations, subroutines, the configuration subsystem, the communications subsystem, the low function terminal (LFT) subsystem, the logical volume subsystem, the M-audio capture and playback adapter subsystem, the printer subsystem, the SCSI subsystem, and the serial DASD subsystem.

This book is part of the six-volume technical reference set, AIX 5L Version 5.2 Technical Reference, that provides information on system calls, kernel extension calls, and subroutines in the following volumes:

* AIX 5L Version 5.2 Technical Reference: Base Operating System and Extensions Volume 1 and AIX 5L Version 5.2 Technical Reference: Base Operating System and Extensions Volume 2 provide information on system calls, subroutines, functions, macros, and statements associated with base operating system runtime services.
* AIX 5L Version 5.2 Technical Reference: Communications Volume 1 and AIX 5L Version 5.2 Technical Reference: Communications Volume 2 provide information on entry points, functions, system calls, subroutines, and operations related to communications services.
* AIX 5L Version 5.2 Technical Reference: Kernel and Subsystems Volume 1 and AIX 5L Version 5.2 Technical Reference: Kernel and Subsystems Volume 2 provide information about kernel services, device driver operations, file system operations, subroutines, the configuration subsystem, the communications subsystem, the low function terminal (LFT) subsystem, the logical volume subsystem, the M-audio capture and playback adapter subsystem, the printer subsystem, the SCSI subsystem, and the serial DASD subsystem.
