\chapter{Generic Operating System Services}

|
The modules described in this chapter provide interfaces to operating
|
|
system features that are available on (almost) all operating systems,
|
|
such as files and a clock. The interfaces are generally modelled
|
|
after the \UNIX{} or C interfaces but they are available on most other
|
|
systems as well. Here's an overview:
