Linux headers are a collection of files that contain definitions and declarations of data structures, macros, and functions used by the Linux kernel. They are essential for developing kernel modules and other software that interacts directly with the kernel. These headers are typically found in the /usr/src/linux-headers-<version> directory on a Linux system, where <version> corresponds to the specific kernel version.
The primary purpose of Linux headers is to provide the necessary information for compiling kernel modules.
Linux headers are also used in the development of other software that requires direct interaction with the
The Linux headers are maintained and updated alongside the Linux kernel itself. This ensures that the headers
