ChrisOS/Specifications and formats

Specifications and formats

ChrisVM contracts, ChrisO, boot protocols, filesystem formats, ABIs, graphics protocols and externally defined specifications.

Scope

This volume defines the terminology and relationships required before implementation detail. General concepts remain separate from ChrisOS-specific decisions; when a chapter crosses into implementation, its source revision and relevant files are declared in frontmatter.

Core chapters

  • This volume expands through subsystem pages and the source atlas as the implementation evolves.

Reading rule

Lower-layer details need not be memorized, but terms used by higher layers are defined before their first technical use. Diagrams show flow and responsibility; tables record contracts, layouts and states.
