RTLinux \(em RealTime Linux
.SH "RTLinux"
.PP
RTLinux (RealTimeLinux) is a simple \fIhard real time\fP operating system
that runs Linux as its lowest priority thread. RTLinux follows the POSIX PSE51 profile
in which the realtime operating system looks something like a single POSIX process,
with applications as signal handlers and threads. The Linux thread provides access to all
the services of a POSIX PSE54 operating system so that the hard realtime part can
remain simple and fast. Programming in RTLinux is relatively straightforward: RTLinux
programs are generally written as loadable kernel modules and use the pthreads API.
Realtime components use signals, rt-fifos, and shared memory to communicate with
Linux kernel and user programs. RTLinux also offers optional user-mode access to
realtime facilities via the \fBrtlinux_sigaction\fP system calls.
.SH "SOURCE TREE"
.PP
