sem_init()

Create an unnamed semaphore.

You cannot create an unnamed semaphore for synchronization between processes. If a non-zero value is passed through the pshared parameter, it will return only the value -1 and will assign the ENOTSUP value to the errno variable.

semaphore.h

sem_open()

Create/open a named semaphore.

You cannot open a named semaphore that was created by another process. Named semaphores (like unnamed semaphores) are local, which means that they are accessible only to the process that created them.

semaphore.h

pthread_

spin_init()

Create a spin lock.

You cannot create a spin lock for synchronization between processes. If the PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED value is passed through the pshared parameter, this value will be ignored.

pthread.h

mmap()

Map to memory.

You cannot perform memory mapping for interaction between processes. If the MAP_SHARED and PROT_WRITE values are passed through the flags and prot parameters, respectively, it will return only the MAP_FAILED value and will assign the EACCES value to the errno variable. For all other possible values of the prot parameter, the MAP_SHARED value of the flags parameter is ignored. In addition, you cannot pass combinations of the PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC and PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC flags through the prot parameter. In this case, it will return only the MAP_FAILED value and will assign the ENOMEM value to the errno variable.

sys/mman.h

mprotect()

Define the memory access permissions.

For security purposes, some configurations of the KasperskyOS kernel prohibit granting simultaneous write-and-execute access to virtual memory regions. If this type of kernel configuration is in use and you pass the PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC value through the prot parameter, it will only return the -1 value and will assign the ENOTSUP value to the errno variable.

sys/mman.h

pipe()

Create an unnamed channel.

You cannot use an unnamed channel for data transfer between processes. Unnamed channels are local, which means that they are accessible only to the process that created them.

unistd.h

mkfifo()

Create a special FIFO file (named channel).

Stub

sys/stat.h

mkfifoat()

Create a special FIFO file (named channel).

Not implemented

sys/stat.h

pthread_kill()

Send a signal to a thread.

You cannot send a signal to a thread. If a signal number is passed through the sig parameter, only the ENOSYS value is returned.

signal.h

siglongjmp()

Restore the state of the control thread and the signals mask.

Not implemented

setjmp.h

sigsetjmp()

Save the state of the control thread and the signals mask.

Not implemented

pthread.h

ctermid()

Get the path to the file of the control terminal.

Only returns or passes an empty string through the s parameter.

stdio.h

tcsetattr()

The input speed, output speed, and other settings specific to hardware terminals are ignored.

termios.h

tcdrain()

Wait for output completion.

Returns only the value -1.

termios.h

tcflow()

Suspend or resume receipt or transmission of data.

Suspending output and resuming suspended output are not supported.

termios.h

tcflush()

Clear the input queue or output queue, or both of these queues.

Returns only the value -1.

termios.h

tcsendbreak()

Break the connection with the terminal for a set time.

Returns only the value -1.

termios.h

ttyname()

Returns only a null pointer.

unistd.h

ttyname_r()

Get the path to the terminal file.

unistd.h

tcgetpgrp()

Get the ID of a group of processes using the terminal.

Returns only the value -1.

unistd.h

tcsetpgrp()

Define the ID for a group of processes using the terminal.

Returns only the value -1.

unistd.h

tcgetsid()

Get the ID of a group of processes for the leader of the session connected to the terminal.

Returns only the value -1.

termios.h

popen()

Create a child process for command execution and an unnamed channel with this process.

Only assigns the ENOSYS value to the errno variable and returns the NULL value.

stdio.h

pclose()

Close the unnamed channel with the child process created by popen(), and wait for the child process to terminate.

Cannot be used because popen() always returns NULL instead of the handle of the unnamed channel that serves as an input parameter for pclose().

stdio.h

system()

Create a child process for command execution.

Stub

stdlib.h

wordexp()

Perform a shell-like expansion of the string.

Not implemented

wordexp.h

wordfree()

Free up the memory allocated for the results from calling wordexp().

Not implemented

wordexp.h

dup()

Make a copy of the handle of an opened file.

Handles of regular files, standard I/O streams, sockets and channels are supported. There is no guarantee that the lowest available handle will be received.

fcntl.h

dup2()

Make a copy of the handle of an opened file.

Handles of regular files, standard I/O streams, sockets and channels are supported. The handle of an opened file needs to be passed through the fildes2 parameter.

fcntl.h

clock_gettime()

Get the time value.

If the CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID value or CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID value is passed through the clock_id parameter, it will return only the value -1 and will assign the EINVAL value to the errno variable.

time.h

clock()

Get the CPU time spent on execution of the calling process.

Returns the amount of time (in milliseconds) that has elapsed since the KasperskyOS kernel was started.
