><P
> This module contains an interface to those functions defined in the
IEEE 1003.1 (POSIX.1) standards document which are not accessible
through other means. POSIX.1 for example defined the open(), read(),
write() and close() functions, too, which traditionally have been
part of PHP3 for a long time. Some more system specific functions
have not been available before, though, and this module tries to
remedy this by providing easy access to these functions.
