Two files remain: "argv.c" and "argv.h", as these are still used by some other, non-FS-related tests. This was one of the last significant chunks of "no commercial use" code in the tree, as it originally came from the "Filesystem Construction Kit," the sample code distributed with "Practical Filesystem Design with the Be FS", and contained a sigifincant amount of BeOS kernel filesystem code in it (the original README, not preserved here, noted that "the cache code is the real Release 4 BeOS disk cache code".) It has long been replaced by Ingo's from-scratch, MIT-licensed fs_shell that lives in src/tools/fs_shell. Perhaps a note should be made somewhere of this code's prior existence, but I don't think we will have much use for it again, so confined to the dustbin of Git history it shall be. |

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!

Contributing documentation
The main piece of documentation that still needs work are the API docs (found
in the tree at docs/user
). Just find an undocumented class, write
documentation for it, and submit a patch.
