# zig-x86_64

[![CI](https://github.com/leecannon/zig-x86_64/actions/workflows/main.yml/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://github.com/leecannon/zig-x86_64/actions/workflows/main.yml)

**I don't use this library anymore. I made this as a port of the rust crate but over time I have come to dislike the API.**

**As written it does not support self-hosted so will probably be deleted with the release of zig 0.11**

This repo contains various functionality required to make an x86_64 kernel (following [Writing an OS in Rust](https://os.phil-opp.com/))

It is mainly a zig reimplementation of the rust crate [x86_64](https://github.com/rust-osdev/x86_64).

It includes a few additonal types in the `x86_64.additional` namespace:

- `SerialPort` - Serial port type, mainly for debug output

- `SimplePic` - Reimplementation of [pic8259_simple](https://docs.rs/pic8259_simple)
