+This directory contains the library functions common to userland
+and kernel code.
+
+It relies on a few functions being exported :
+
+- panic(char* msg, char* file, int line)
+- panic_assert(char* assert, char* file, int line)
+- dbg_print(const char* str)
+- void* malloc(size_t size)
+- free(void* ptr)
+
+These function are supposed to be defined in the code that calls
+the common functions. The headers for these functions are to be
+found in `assert.h` and `malloc.h`.
+
+Panic and panic_assert end the execution of the current program
+(or of the kernel when in kernel-mode).
