Subject: libsys for GNU/Linux
I just posted a libsys.a-type thing to comp.lang.forth. It's C code
wrappers for most of the Linux system calls. The easy ones.
This can be built as a library or pasted into an app to allow writing
non-trivial C programs without libc, which is important when you're
trying to write something that isn't C, in C. It might also be handy
for install utils, rescue utils, or porting scenarios. I post here
because this also emphasizes the importance of the kernel. A Forth
or similar environment based on this could easily provide a complete
user-space development environment in only 200k additional space
over the size of the kernel. That wouldn't allow kernel maintenance,
of course. "Not just unix, necessarily, but, , beautiful." to mis-quote
my favorite bluesman.
This release is PD.
If you want a copy and don't want to deal with usenet email me.
