Hello,

I'm trying to find out if there are any documentation about what APIs are available for VBox plugin, memory management APIs in particular. Is there any place where such docs can be found?

There is the SDK documentation which is included in the SDK zip file available here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Secondly, I'm wondering what VMMR0, VMMR3, VMMRC (ring 0, etc.. ?) mean. Is there any doc that help me understand this?

These are VirtualBox internals for which one can generate doxygen output but I don't think if we publish these. However, since it's all open source, generating it from OSE tarball shouldn't be too difficult.

VMM stands for Virtual Machine Monitor, and R0, R3, RC, RZ are various contexts in which the code executes. However, do remember that sometimes it can be a bit confusing if you go purely by the doxygen comments and not look into what the code actually does, as there might be the odd obsolete comment or more likely, for historical reasons why something continues to be named the way it is.

Ram.


Thank you very much!
Jack
