I am new to Linux kernel stuffs. How are Kernel API and syscalls differ from each other?
syscalls are system calls which which will be used by your application in user space. syscalls table will map the userspace syatem call with the related function in kernel space.
kernel API are the functions which can only be used in kernel space and they do not have any existence in userspace.
