Libraries that abstract complex kernel system calls into simplified helper functions for user-space applications.
Distinct from Linux Kernel Development: Candidates focus on kernel internals or specific drivers, not the general pattern of wrapping kernel APIs for user-space.

liburing is a C library that provides a low-level wrapper for the Linux kernel io_uring interface. It serves as a programming interface for executing non-blocking disk and network operations and abstracts the system calls required to communicate with the Linux kernel. The library focuses on reducing system call overhead and context switching for high-throughput data processing. It implements mechanisms for shared ring buffers, zero-copy buffer registration, and fixed-file descriptor mapping to minimize internal lookup and reference counting overhead. The project covers asynchronous input and
