With the introduction of the userdata concept, the term body has become ambiguous and less intuitive. To improve clarity, body is renamed to msg_body, making it clear that the body is not the only content following the header. In an upcoming patch, the term body_len will also be revised for further clarity. The current packet structure is as follows: release, header, body, [msg_body + userdata] Here, [msg_body + userdata] collectively forms what is currently referred to as "body." This renaming helps to distinguish and better understand each component of the packet.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
