5.6 oskit_posixio: POSIX I/O interface

   

The oskit_posixio interface defines the minimal POSIX I/O interface that any POSIX I/O object (file, device, pipe, socket, etc) can be expected to support. Only per-object methods are provided by this interface. Additional I/O operations are supported through separate interfaces, such as the oskit_stream interface and oskit_absio COM interface.

The oskit_posixio COM interface inherits from oskit_iunknown, and has the following additional methods:

stat

Get this object's attributes.

setstat

Set this object's attributes.

pathconf

Get this object's value for a configuration option variable.

• 5.6.1 stat: Get attributes of this object
• 5.6.2 setstat: Set the attributes of this object
• 5.6.3 pathconf: Get value of a configuration option variable
