Reference

Fuchsia has the following reference documentation:

• FIDL

  Lists the FIDL APIs that you can use while developing for Fuchsia.

  FIDL or "Fuchsia Interface Definition Language" is the IPC system for Fuchsia. To learn more about FIDL, see FIDL language specification.

• C++

  Lists the C++ headers that you can use while developing for Fuchsia.

• Rust

  Lists the available rust crates that you can use while developing Fuchsia.

• Tools

  Tools for Fuchsia source contributors.

• System calls

  System calls allow you to make requests from the user space into the Zircon kernel.

• Kernel objects

  Zircon is an object-based kernel. User mode code almost exclusively interacts with OS resources via object handles.

• Kernel

  The Zircon kernel receives a textual commandline from the bootloader, which can be used to alter some behaviours of the system.

• Product configuration

  Fuchsia's product configuration documentation for Bazel SDK defines the various options that you can use to configure a product when building with Bazel.

• Bazel SDK

  Lists the Bazel build rules for the Fuchsia SDK.

• Diagnostics

  Fuchsia's diagnostics documentation provides information about the tools and techniques used to identify and diagnose issues within Fuchsia.

• Testing

  Lists reference documentation for Fuchsia test frameworks, platform, ABI, and tools.

• Tracing

  The purpose of Fuchsia tracing is to provide a means to collect, aggregate, and visualize diagnostic tracing information from Fuchsia user space processes and the Zircon kernel.
