  13. *BSD commonly means FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD, but since Apple's Darwin
  14. has a FreeBSD userland, I also add Darwin to it. At least Darwin's
  15. userland seems to be compatible enough to be included, despite its
  16. internal Mach architecture.
  17. Common *BSD files:
  18. bsdmacro.inc The POSIX mode_t (IS_DIR etc) and exit macro's.
  19. bsdsysc.inc The base syscalls for *BSD system unit.
  20. including a few that are _not_ posix, but still
  21. required in the system unit. All routines have
  22. a public alias.
  23. bsdsysch.inc EXTERNAL declarations for the non-posix calls in
  24. bsdsysc.inc (to import them into e.g. Unix)
  25. bsdtypes.inc some non POSIX BSD types required for the
  26. syscalls and base functions.
  27. bsdfuncs.inc POSIX syscalls and functions that are not needed
  28. for system.
  29. osposix.inc The implementation of unit posix, redirects to libc
  30. or bsdtypes.inc (via aliases)
  31. osposixh.inc The headers of unit posix.
  32. sysctl.pp Some basic sysctl headers, needed for implementation
  33. of POSIX functions.
  34. sysposix.inc BSD specific part of the implementation
  35. i386/syscall.inc The primitives for performing syscalls
  36. i386/syscallh.inc Headers to syscall.inc
  37. powerpc/syscall.inc likewise for PPC.
