About:
The linux-headers@5.15 package provides the essential C header files from the Linux kernel version 5.15. These files are required for compiling user-space programs that interface directly with the kernel, such as device drivers or system utilities. They define the structures, constants, and system calls needed to build software compatible with this specific kernel version.
Key Features:
  • Provides C header files for kernel version 5.15
  • Enables compilation of kernel modules and drivers
  • Defines system call interfaces and kernel structures
  • Ensures compatibility with the 5.15 kernel ABI
Use Cases:
  • Compiling custom kernel modules or device drivers
  • Building system-level software that requires kernel interfaces
Alternatives:
  • linux-headers – Points to the latest stable kernel headers instead of a specific version.
  • kernel-source – Contains the full kernel source code, not just the headers needed for compilation.
