Concurrently using POSIX and other interfaces

Using libkos together with Pthreads

In a thread created using Pthreads, you cannot use the following libkos interfaces:

• Synchronization primitives
• Threads
• DMA buffers
• I/O ports
• Memory-mapped I/O (MMIO)
• Interrupts

The following libkos interfaces can be used together with Pthreads (and other POSIX interfaces):

• Handles
• Notifications
• Processes
• Dynamically created channels
• Queues

Using POSIX together with libkos threads

POSIX methods cannot be used in threads that were created using libkos threads.

Using IPC together with Pthreads/libkos threads

Methods for IPC can be used in any threads that were created using Pthreads or libkos threads.
