Project Overview The OS-1000-lines-zig repository is a Zig-based operating system project. The primary purpose of this project is to create a simple, lightweight operating system with a focus on performance and scalability. The key features of this project include: A monolithic kernel architecture Support for basic process management and memory management A simple command-line interface Getting Started To get started with the OS-1000-lines-zig project, you will need to have the following prerequisites installed on your system: Zig compiler (version 0.10.0 or later) A code editor or IDE of your choice A terminal or command prompt To install the project, follow these steps: Clone the repository using the command git clone https://github.com/botirk38/OS-1000-lines-zig.git Navigate to the project directory using the command cd OS-1000-lines-zig Build the project using the command zig build Usage To use the OS-1000-lines-zig project, follow these steps: Run the project using the command zig run Interact with the command-line interface to execute commands and view output Some basic examples of usage include: Running a simple "Hello World" program Viewing system information such as memory usage and process list Architecture Overview The OS-1000-lines-zig project uses a monolithic kernel architecture, which means that the kernel and user space are combined into a single executable. The kernel is responsible for managing processes, memory, and other system resources. The project includes several key components, including: src/kernel.zig : The kernel implementation, which provides basic process management and memory management functionality. : The kernel implementation, which provides basic process management and memory management functionality. src/common.zig : A utility file that provides common functions and macros used throughout the project. : A utility file that provides common functions and macros used throughout the project. build.zig : The build script, which is used to compile and link the project. Configuration The project uses a simple configuration file to store settings and options. To modify the configuration, edit the config.zig file and rebuild the project. Contributing Contributions to the project are welcome! To contribute, please fork the repository and submit a pull request with your changes.
