### Directory outline
The planned directory outline is as follows:
```
root
├── kern # General kernel sources
│ ├── libkern # Kernel specific library routines
│ ├── memory # Memory related code (kalloc, buddy and friends)
│ └── arch # Architecture specific functionality
├── libc # Userspace C library
└── user # Userspace programs
```
### Quick Start
```sh
make get_toolchain # Dont worry, is will land locally inside project directory
make -j$(nproc)
make qemu
```
The project can be cleaned with:
```sh
make clean # Wipes .o, .d, .elf
make distclean # Wipes the above, but also removes toolchain
```
