-This directory contains some test code for system calls that need
-POSIX semantics to work under Go. There are 9 system calls wrapped in
-a nptl:setxid mechanism in glibc, and the following development patch
-adds support for these 9 to native Go.
-
-https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/210639/
-
-The Go support works with or without CGO_ENABLED.
-
-With a patched Go runtime library:
-
-  make
-  sudo ./posix
-  sudo ./posix-cgo
-
-should validate that all is working as intended.
-
-The above Go patch also exposes the mechanism that achieves this in
-the Go runtime, to ensure that the native Go "libcap/cap" package can
-work with and without CGO_ENABLED.
