linux-headers ________________________________________________________________________________ The linux kernel's exported header files describe the API for user space programs attempting to use kernel services. These kernel header files are used by the system's C library (such as glibc or uClibc) to define available system calls, as well as constants and structures to be used with these system calls. The C library's header files include the kernel header files from the "linux" subdirectory. The system's libc headers are usually installed at the default location /usr/include and the kernel headers in subdirectories under that (most notably /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm).

The headers are backwards compatible and are fully usable with a matching or _newer_ kernel version. There are two cases where you'd be required to update the headers yourself. 1. To run a kernel _older_ than the default headers. 2. To make use of features in your _newer_ kernel version.
