Application Programming Interface

---------------------------------



The programming interface for kernel space data access-aware applications.

DAMON is a framework, so it does nothing by itself.  Instead, it only helps

other kernel components such as subsystems and modules building their data

access-aware applications using DAMON's core features.  For this, DAMON exposes

its all features to other kernel components via its application programming

interface, namely ``include/linux/damon.h``.  Please refer to the API

:doc:`document </mm/damon/api>` for details of the interface.
