Extended API Set, Part 1

This document has been prepared by The Open Group Base Working Group. The Open Group Base Working Group has developed four API sets which have been submitted to the Austin Group as input to the revision of the Base Specifications, Issue 6. This is the first document in a set of four.

It includes interfaces drawn from glibc and other open source operating systems. These interfaces can be broadly grouped into the following categories:

• Directory handling: alphasort(), dirfd(), and scandir().
• Signal handling: psignal() and psiginfo().
• Standard I/O extensions: dprintf(), fmemopen(), getdelim(), getline(), open_memstream(), and open_wmemstream().
• Temporary files: mkdtemp().
• String handling: stpcpy(), stpncpy(), strndup(), strnlen(), strsignal(), mbsnrtowcs(), wcpcpy(), wcpncpy(), wcscasecmp(), wcsdup(), wcsnlen(), and wcsnrtombs().
