6. 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:

os
--- Miscellaneous OS interfaces.

time
--- Time access and conversions.

getopt
--- Parser for command line options.

tempfile
--- Generate temporary file names.
