How the LKP works
The LKP provides a Linux kernel interface to UnixWare 7.
The LKP is not an emulator; rather, Linux kernel functions are
mapped into equivalent UnixWare 7 kernel functions.
The LKP runtime environment, from an application point-of-view, is the same
as as a Caldera OpenLinux runtime environment -- Linux applications do
not ``know'' that they are running on a UnixWare 7 kernel.
The LKP includes standard Linux libraries, runtime components
and user commands.
The main differences between native Linux and the LKP are in the kernel
and data structures themselves, which are based on UnixWare 7 for the LKP.
