+<title>Requirements</title>
+<para>
+We need the tools to build a module and a building linux tree. Running the built
+linux kernel is highly recommended so we can test our modules.
+</para>
+<para>
+The tools include GNU make, GCC and GNU binutils. Linux build is highly
+dependent on the GNU toolchain, since the beginning.

 We have prepared sample code to build in the samples/ directory. Try them.

+<title>Init and Exit Functions</title>
+<para>
+We use <emphasis>module\_init</emphasis> and <emphasis>module\_exit</emphasis>
+to declare our init and exit functions.

+<title>Init and Exit Functions</title>
+<para>
+The <emphasis>\_\_init</emphasis> and <emphasis>\_\_exit</emphasis> marks allow
+the kernel to remove them when they are not needed, reducing memory consumption.

+<foil>
+<title>printk</title>
+<para>
+<emphasis>printk</emphasis> is very similar to printf. The messages are usually
+preceded by a string in the form &lt;n&gt;, where <emphasis>n</emphasis> is a
+priority. There are macros, like <emphasis>KERN\_ALERT</emphasis> and
+<emphasis>KERN\_DEBUG</emphasis> to use for that.
