[NFBCS] How to install and use this? - Linux

[Willem Venter]

Hi. It seems like it is built as a kernel module.
Modules are basically arbitrary binary blobs that conform to the
kernel's module interface. Loaded modules can register interrupts that
trigger when specific things happen, e.g. hardware state changes. From
there it can run any custom code it wants to. A lot of functionality
is made posseble by using the kernel API (exposed to the program
through the kernel headers).
