Hi Mike, > Thanks for the link. I guess based on the VAPI name it's Linux specific - but > does it rely on glibc or is it actually using something Linux-kernel-specific?
Indeed they are glibc-specific rather than Linux-specific. Their presence in Linux.vapi is merely historic, since when I added most of the POSIX-extensions, Linux.vapi looked like a good choice. It doesn’t really hurt keeping them there, since using said constructs on a non-Linux system should work fine, still, if we were to reconsider the bindings structure, i’d vote for a glibc.vapi, where these (and some more) functions would fit better.
