Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

In some cases, using the 'truncate' command to extend a UDF file results in a mismatch between the length of the file's extents (specifically, due to incorrect length of the final NOT_ALLOCATED extent) and the information (file) length. The discrepancy can prevent other operating systems (i.e., Windows 10) from opening the file. Two particular errors have been observed when extending a file: 1. The final extent is larger than it should be, having been rounded up to a multiple of the block size. B. The final extent is not shorter than it should be, due to not having been updated when the file's information length was increased.
