Development

Introduction

Developing applications and libraries for KolibriOS can be done in a variety of languages, including C, C++, Free Pascal, Forth, Lua and Python.
However, we encourage the use of assembly language whenever possible.

Getting started

KolibriOS comes shipped with most important developer oriented documentation.
In DOCPACK program you'll find guides to FASM, MTDBG and latest system functions (API).
You can also find a copy of the latest API documention in /kernel/docs/ in the Git repository (Gitea)
