It is exposed: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/66e2aa725564c2221ace7a26628afe3957f28237/ext/posix/posix.c#L1232-L1241 Also we already define some SC constants so the only that is needed for this is just adding a constant which is a very easy thing to do. > > 2) I am not aware of the historical reasons that lead to the addition of a > duplicated, less capable function to the POSIX standard (I'm super duper > sure there's some reason related to an implementation detail of some 30+ > year-old platform :), but PHP isn't a POSIX-compliant OS, it is not PHP's > task to expose the entirety of the POSIX standard functions: PHP's task is > to provide a simple to use language that also exposes some *useful* > functions from the POSIX standard, and posix_times does not fit the > definition, in my opinion. > But this is a posix extension which sole purpose is to expose POSIX functions. The extension is available only on POSIX systems. We are not talking about function in standard extension. In such case I would share your sentiment but this is a completely different matter.
