If I've surmised correctly from other messages on this thread, you should be able to `import Glibc` and then you can use most of what's in the C standard library (since Swift interoperates directly with C). The module map which enables you to import Glibc is: https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/stdlib/public/Platform/glibc.modulemap.gyb
OO wrappers around things like I/O are provided by the open source version of Foundation: https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation and, to the extent that their functionality matches the proprietary macOS version, there's documentation at https://developer.apple.com/reference/foundation/ Jacob On Sat, Jul 16, 2016 at 4:33 PM, K Richard Pixley via swift-users < swift-users@swift.org> wrote: > I'm a new swift person, *long* time unix/linux developer, mac user but > only mac developer inasmuch as mac is unix.
