About This Guide

The System Architecture guide accompanies the QNX operating system and is intended for both application developers and end-users.

This guide provides a detailed look at the structure and functions of QNX. It describes the Microkernel, System Managers, as well as QNX's unique message-based IPC. We recommend that you read this guide before you begin using QNX.

For information on installing and using QNX, refer to the Installation & Configuration guide.
