20 The POSIX module permits you to access all (or nearly all) the standard
21 POSIX 1003.1 identifiers. Many of these identifiers have been given Perl-ish
22 interfaces. Things which are C<#defines> in C, like EINTR or O_NDELAY, are
23 automatically exported into your namespace. All functions are only exported
24 if you ask for them explicitly. Most likely people will prefer to use the
25 fully-qualified function names.
27 This document gives a condensed list of the features available in the POSIX
28 module. Consult your operating system's manpages for general information on
29 most features. Consult L<perlfunc> for functions which are noted as being
30 identical to Perl's builtin functions.
32 The first section describes POSIX functions from the 1003.1 specification.
33 The second section describes some classes for signal objects, TTY objects,
34 and other miscellaneous objects. The remaining sections list various
35 constants and macros in an organization which roughly follows IEEE Std
40 The POSIX module is probably the most complex Perl module supplied with
41 the standard distribution. It incorporates autoloading, namespace games,
42 and dynamic loading of code that's in Perl, C, or both. It's a great
47 A few functions are not implemented because they are C specific. If you
48 attempt to call these, they will print a message telling you that they
49 aren't implemented, and suggest using the Perl equivalent should one
50 exist. For example, trying to access the setjmp() call will elicit the
51 message "setjmp() is C-specific: use eval {} instead".
53 Furthermore, some evil vendors will claim 1003.1 compliance, but in fact
54 are not so: they will not pass the PCTS (POSIX Compliance Test Suites).
55 For example, one vendor may not define EDEADLK, or the semantics of the
56 errno values set by open(2) might not be quite right. Perl does not
57 attempt to verify POSIX compliance. That means you can currently
58 successfully say "use POSIX", and then later in your program you find
59 that your vendor has been lax and there's no usable ICANON macro after
60 all. This could be construed to be a bug.
68 This is identical to the C function C<_exit()>. It exits the program
69 immediately which means among other things buffered I/O is B<not> flushed.
73 This is identical to the C function C<abort()>. It terminates the
74 process with a C<SIGABRT> signal unless caught by a signal handler or
75 if the handler does not return normally (it e.g. does a C<longjmp>).

91 security purposes. Between the C<access()> call and the operation
92 you are preparing for the permissions might change: a classic

115 $wday, $yday, $isdst);

905 standard error stream the specified message followed by ": " and the
906 current error string. Use the C<warn()> function and the C<$!>
907 variable instead, see L<perlfunc/warn> and L<perlvar/$ERRNO>.
911 Create an interprocess channel. This returns file descriptors like those
912 returned by C<POSIX::open>.

916 POSIX::read( $fd1, $buf, 5 );
918 See also L<perlfunc/pipe>.

956 C<rand()> is non-portable, see L<perlfunc/rand> instead.
960 Read from a file. This uses file descriptors such as those obtained by
961 calling C<POSIX::open>. If the buffer C<$buf> is not large enough for the
962 read then Perl will extend it to make room for the request.
964 $fd = POSIX::open( "foo", &POSIX::O_RDONLY );
965 $bytes = POSIX::read( $fd, $buf, 3 );
967 Returns C<undef> on failure.
969 See also L<perlfunc/sysread>.
973 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<readdir()> function
974 for reading directory entries, see L<perlfunc/readdir>.
978 realloc() is C-specific. Perl does memory management transparently.
982 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<unlink()> function
983 for removing files, see L<perlfunc/unlink>.
987 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<rename()> function

996 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<rewinddir()> function for
997 rewinding directory entry streams, see L<perlfunc/rewinddir>.
1001 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<rmdir()> function
1002 for removing (empty) directories, see L<perlfunc/rmdir>.
1006 scanf() is C-specific, use E<lt>E<gt> and regular expressions instead,
1011 Sets the real group identifier and the effective group identifier for
1012 this process. Similar to assigning a value to the Perl's builtin
1013 C<$)> variable, see L<perlvar/$GID>, except that the latter
1014 will change only the real user identifier, and that the setgid()
1015 uses only a single numeric argument, as opposed to a space-separated
1020 C<setjmp()> is C-specific: use C<eval {}> instead,
1021 see L<perlfunc/eval>.
1025 Modifies and queries program's locale. The following examples assume
1027 use POSIX qw(setlocale LC_ALL LC_CTYPE);

1032 (the second argument C<"C">).
1034 $loc = setlocale( LC_ALL, "C" );
1036 The following will query the current LC_CTYPE category. (No second
1037 argument means 'query'.)
1039 $loc = setlocale( LC_CTYPE );
1041 The following will set the LC_CTYPE behaviour according to the locale
1042 environment variables (the second argument C<"">).
1043 Please see your systems L<setlocale(3)> documentation for the locale
1044 environment variables' meaning or consult L<perllocale>.
1046 $loc = setlocale( LC_CTYPE, "" );
1048 The following will set the LC_COLLATE behaviour to Argentinian
1049 Spanish. B<NOTE>: The naming and availability of locales depends on
1050 your operating system. Please consult L<perllocale> for how to find
1051 out which locales are available in your system.
1053 $loc = setlocale( LC_ALL, "es_AR.ISO8859-1" );
1057 This is similar to the C function C<setpgid()> for
1058 setting the process group identifier of the current process.

1069 Sets the real user identifier and the effective user identifier for
1070 this process. Similar to assigning a value to the Perl's builtin
1071 C<$E<lt>> variable, see L<perlvar/$UID>, except that the latter
1072 will change only the real user identifier.
1076 Detailed signal management. This uses C<POSIX::SigAction> objects for the
1077 C<action> and C<oldaction> arguments. Consult your system's C<sigaction>
1078 manpage for details.
1082 sigaction(sig, action, oldaction = 0)
1084 Returns C<undef> on failure.
1088 siglongjmp() is C-specific: use L<perlfunc/die> instead.
1092 Examine signals that are blocked and pending. This uses C<POSIX::SigSet>
1093 objects for the C<sigset> argument. Consult your system's C<sigpending>
1094 manpage for details.

1105 C<POSIX::SigSet> objects for the C<sigset> and C<oldsigset> arguments.
1106 Consult your system's C<sigprocmask> manpage for details.
1110 sigprocmask(how, sigset, oldsigset = 0)
1112 Returns C<undef> on failure.
1116 C<sigsetjmp()> is C-specific: use C<eval {}> instead,
1117 see L<perlfunc/eval>.
1121 Install a signal mask and suspend process until signal arrives. This uses
1122 C<POSIX::SigSet> objects for the C<signal_mask> argument. Consult your
1123 system's C<sigsuspend> manpage for details.
1127 sigsuspend(signal_mask)
1129 Returns C<undef> on failure.
1133 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<sin()> function
1134 for returning the sine of the numerical argument,
1135 see L<perlfunc/sin>. See also L<Math::Trig>.

1153 see L<perlfunc/sprintf>.
1157 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<sqrt()> function.
1158 for returning the square root of the numerical argument,
1159 see L<perlfunc/sqrt>.
1163 Give a seed the pseudorandom number generator, see L<perlfunc/srand>.
1167 sscanf() is C-specific, use regular expressions instead,
1172 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<stat()> function
1173 for retutning information about files and directories.
1177 strcat() is C-specific, use C<.=> instead, see L<perlop>.
1181 strchr() is C-specific, see L<perlfunc/index> instead.
1185 strcmp() is C-specific, use C<eq> or C<cmp> instead, see L<perlop>.
1189 This is identical to the C function C<strcoll()>
1190 for collating (comparing) strings transformed using
1191 the C<strxfrm()> function. Not really needed since
1192 Perl can do this transparently, see L<perllocale>.
1196 strcpy() is C-specific, use C<=> instead, see L<perlop>.
1200 strcspn() is C-specific, use regular expressions instead,
1205 Returns the error string for the specified errno.
1206 Identical to the string form of the C<$!>, see L<perlvar/$ERRNO>.
1210 Convert date and time information to string. Returns the string.
1214 strftime(fmt, sec, min, hour, mday, mon, year, wday = -1, yday = -1, isdst = -1)
1216 The month (C<mon>), weekday (C<wday>), and yearday (C<yday>) begin at zero.
1217 I.e. January is 0, not 1; Sunday is 0, not 1; January 1st is 0, not 1. The
1218 year (C<year>) is given in years since 1900. I.e., the year 1995 is 95; the
1219 year 2001 is 101. Consult your system's C<strftime()> manpage for details
1220 about these and the other arguments.
1221 If you want your code to be portable, your format (C<fmt>) argument
1222 should use only the conversion specifiers defined by the ANSI C
1223 standard. These are C<aAbBcdHIjmMpSUwWxXyYZ%>.
1224 The given arguments are made consistent
1225 as though by calling C<mktime()> before calling your system's
1226 C<strftime()> function, except that the C<isdst> value is not affected.
1228 The string for Tuesday, December 12, 1995.
1230 $str = POSIX::strftime( "%A, %B %d, %Y", 0, 0, 0, 12, 11, 95, 2 );
1235 strlen() is C-specific, use C<length()> instead, see L<perlfunc/length>.
1239 strncat() is C-specific, use C<.=> instead, see L<perlop>.
1243 strncmp() is C-specific, use C<eq> instead, see L<perlop>.

1256 strrchr() is C-specific, see L<perlfunc/rindex> instead.
1260 strspn() is C-specific, use regular expressions instead,
1265 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<index()> function,
1266 see L<perlfunc/index>.
1270 String to double translation. Returns the parsed number and the number
1271 of characters in the unparsed portion of the string. Truly
1272 POSIX-compliant systems set $! ($ERRNO) to indicate a translation
1273 error, so clear $! before calling strtod. However, non-POSIX systems
1274 may not check for overflow, and therefore will never set $!.
1276 strtod should respect any POSIX I<setlocale()> settings.
1278 To parse a string $str as a floating point number use
1281 ($num, $n_unparsed) = POSIX::strtod($str);
1283 The second returned item and $! can be used to check for valid input:
1285 if (($str eq '') || ($n_unparsed != 0) || !$!) {
1286 die "Non-numeric input $str" . $! ? ": $!\n" : "\n";
1289 When called in a scalar context strtod returns the parsed number.
1293 strtok() is C-specific, use regular expressions instead, see
1294 L<perlre>, or L<perlfunc/split>.
1298 String to (long) integer translation. Returns the parsed number and
1299 the number of characters in the unparsed portion of the string. Truly
1300 POSIX-compliant systems set $! ($ERRNO) to indicate a translation
1301 error, so clear $! before calling strtol. However, non-POSIX systems
1302 may not check for overflow, and therefore will never set $!.
1304 strtol should respect any POSIX I<setlocale()> settings.
1306 To parse a string $str as a number in some base $base use
1309 ($num, $n_unparsed) = POSIX::strtol($str, $base);
1311 The base should be zero or between 2 and 36, inclusive. When the base
1312 is zero or omitted strtol will use the string itself to determine the
1313 base: a leading "0x" or "0X" means hexadecimal; a leading "0" means
1314 octal; any other leading characters mean decimal. Thus, "1234" is
1315 parsed as a decimal number, "01234" as an octal number, and "0x1234"
1316 as a hexadecimal number.
1318 The second returned item and $! can be used to check for valid input:
1320 if (($str eq '') || ($n_unparsed != 0) || !$!) {
1321 die "Non-numeric input $str" . $! ? ": $!\n" : "\n";
1324 When called in a scalar context strtol returns the parsed number.
1328 String to unsigned (long) integer translation. strtoul() is identical
1329 to strtol() except that strtoul() only parses unsigned integers. See
1330 L</strtol> for details.
1332 Note: Some vendors supply strtod() and strtol() but not strtoul().
1333 Other vendors that do supply strtoul() parse "-1" as a valid value.
1337 String transformation. Returns the transformed string.
1339 $dst = POSIX::strxfrm( $src );
1341 Used in conjunction with the C<strcoll()> function, see L</strcoll>.
1343 Not really needed since Perl can do this transparently, see

1358 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<system()> function, see
1363 This is identical to the C function C<tan()>, returning the
1364 tangent of the numerical argument. See also L<Math::Trig>.

1388 the I/O buffers of its argumeny stream.
1390 Returns C<undef> on failure.
1394 This is identical to the C function C<tcgetpgrp()> for returning the
1395 process group identifier of the foreground process group of the controlling
1400 This is similar to the C function C<tcsendbreak()> for sending
1401 a break on its argument stream.
1403 Returns C<undef> on failure.
1407 This is similar to the C function C<tcsetpgrp()> for setting the
1408 process group identifier of the foreground process group of the controlling
1411 Returns C<undef> on failure.
1415 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<time()> function
1416 for returning the number of seconds since the epoch
1417 (whatever it is for the system), see L<perlfunc/time>.
1421 The times() function returns elapsed realtime since some point in the past
1422 (such as system startup), user and system times for this process, and user
1423 and system times used by child processes. All times are returned in clock
1426 ($realtime, $user, $system, $cuser, $csystem) = POSIX::times();
1428 Note: Perl's builtin C<times()> function returns four values, measured in
1433 Use method C<IO::File::new_tmpfile()> instead, or see L<File::Temp>.
1437 Returns a name for a temporary file.
1439 $tmpfile = POSIX::tmpnam();
1441 For security reasons, which are probably detailed in your system's
1442 documentation for the C library tmpnam() function, this interface
1443 should not be used; instead see L<File::Temp>.
1447 This is identical to the C function, except that it can apply to a single
1448 character or to a whole string. Consider using the C<lc()> function,
1449 see L<perlfunc/lc>, or the equivalent C<\L> operator inside doublequotish
1454 This is identical to the C function, except that it can apply to a single
1455 character or to a whole string. Consider using the C<uc()> function,
1456 see L<perlfunc/uc>, or the equivalent C<\U> operator inside doublequotish
1461 This is identical to the C function C<ttyname()> for returning the
1462 name of the current terminal.
1466 Retrieves the time conversion information from the C<tzname> variable.
1469 ($std, $dst) = POSIX::tzname();
1473 This is identical to the C function C<tzset()> for setting
1474 the current timezone based on the environment variable C<TZ>,
1475 to be used by C<ctime()>, C<localtime()>, C<mktime()>, and C<strftime()>
1480 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<umask()> function
1481 for setting (and querying) the file creation permission mask,
1482 see L<perlfunc/umask>.
1486 Get name of current operating system.
1488 ($sysname, $nodename, $release, $version, $machine) = POSIX::uname();
1490 Note that the actual meanings of the various fields are not
1491 that well standardized, do not expect any great portability.
1492 The C<$sysname> might be the name of the operating system,
1493 the C<$nodename> might be the name of the host, the C<$release>
1494 might be the (major) release number of the operating system,
1495 the C<$version> might be the (minor) release number of the
1496 operating system, and the C<$machine> might be a hardware identifier.
1501 Use method C<IO::Handle::ungetc()> instead.
1505 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<unlink()> function
1506 for removing files, see L<perlfunc/unlink>.
1510 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<utime()> function
1511 for changing the time stamps of files and directories,

1524 vsprintf() is C-specific, see L<perlfunc/sprintf> instead.
1528 This is identical to Perl's builtin C<wait()> function,
1529 see L<perlfunc/wait>.
1533 Wait for a child process to change state. This is identical to Perl's
1534 builtin C<waitpid()> function, see L<perlfunc/waitpid>.
1536 $pid = POSIX::waitpid( -1, &POSIX::WNOHANG );
1537 print "status = ", ($? / 256), "\n";
1541 This is identical to the C function C<wcstombs()>.
1542 Perl does not have any support for the wide and multibyte
1543 characters of the C standards, so this might be a rather

1651 =head2 POSIX::Termios
1657 Create a new Termios object. This object will be destroyed automatically
1658 when it is no longer needed. A Termios object corresponds to the termios
1659 C struct. new() mallocs a new one, getattr() fills it from a file descriptor,
