| //! Experimental low-level implementation details for libc-like runtime |
| //! libraries such as [Origin]. |
| //! |
| //! ⚠ These are not normal functions. ⚠ |
| //! |
| //! - Some of the functions in this module cannot be used in a process which |
| //! also has a libc present. This can be true even for functions that have |
| //! the same name as a libc function that Rust code can use. |
| //! |
| //! - Some of the functions in this module don't behave exactly the same way |
| //! as functions in libc with similar names. Sometimes information about the |
| //! differences is included in the Linux documentation under “C |
| //! library/kernel differences” sections. But not always. |
| //! |
| //! - The safety requirements of the functions in this module are not fully |
| //! documented. |
| //! |
| //! - The API for these functions is not considered stable, and this module is |
| //! `doc(hidden)`. |
| //! |
| //! ⚠ Caution is indicated. ⚠ |
| //! |
| //! These functions are for implementing thread-local storage (TLS), managing |
| //! threads, loaded libraries, and other process-wide resources. Most of |
| //! `rustix` doesn't care about what other libraries are linked into the |
| //! program or what they're doing, but the features in this module generally |
| //! can only be used by one entity within a process. |
| //! |
| //! [Origin]: https://github.com/sunfishcode/origin#readme |
| //! |
| //! # Safety |
| //! |
| //! This module is intended to be used for implementing a runtime library such |
| //! as libc. Use of these features for any other purpose is likely to create |
| //! serious problems. |
