Solaris Porting Layer user-space utilities for Linux

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. The Solaris Porting LAyer Tests (SPLAT) is a Linux kernel module which provides a testing harness for the SPL module.

SPL can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Illumos (or any other OpenSolaris fork) development closely and don't want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.

This package includes the user space utilities needed to test and debug the SPL and SPLAT kernel modules.
