- On Windows connect() can now be interrupted by a signal; connect() w/ O_NONBLOCK will now raise EINPROGRESS; and connect() with SO_SNDTIMEO will raise ETIMEDOUT after the interval has elapsed. - We now get the AcceptEx(), ConnectEx(), and TransmitFile() functions from the WIN32 API the officially blessed way, using WSAIoctl(). - Do nothing on Windows when fsync() is called on a directory handle. This was raising EACCES earlier becaues GENERIC_WRITE is required on the handle. It's possible to FlushFileBuffers() a directory handle if it's opened with write access but MSDN doesn't document what it does. If you have any idea, please let us know! - Prefer manual reset event objects for read() and write() on Windows. - Do some code cleanup on our dlmalloc customizations. - Fix errno type error in Windows blocking routines. - Make the futex polyfill simpler and faster. |

SYNOPSIS
System Five Import Libraries
OVERVIEW
Bell System Five is the umbrella term we use to describe Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Mac OS X which all have nearly-identical application binary interfaces that stood the test of time, having definitions nearly the same as those of AT&T back in the 1980's.
Cosmopolitan aims to help you build apps that can endure over the course of decades, just like these systems have: without needing to lift a finger for maintenance churn, broken builds, broken hearts.
The challenge to System V binary compatibility basically boils down to numbers. All these systems agree on what services are provided, but tend to grant them wildly different numbers.
We address this by putting all the numbers in a couple big shell scripts, ask the GNU Assembler to encode them into binaries using an efficient LEB128 encoding, unpacked by _init(), and ref'd via extern const. It gives us good debuggability, and any costs are gained back by fewer branches in wrapper functions.z
