Crate nix

Rust friendly bindings to the various *nix system functions.

Modules are structured according to the C header file that they would be defined in.

Re-exports

pub use libc;

Modules

dir

env

errno

Functionality involving network interfaces

poll

Wait for events to trigger on specific file descriptors

pty

Create master and slave virtual pseudo-terminals (PTYs)
