POSIX API layer. This is more cross platform than using OS-specific APIs, however, it is lower-level and less portable than other namespaces such as std.fs and std.process. These APIs are generally lowered to libc function calls if and only if libc is linked. Most operating systems other than Windows, Linux, and WASI require always linking libc because they use it as the stable syscall ABI. Operating systems that are not POSIX-compliant are sometimes supported by this API layer; sometimes not. Generally, an implementation will be provided only if such implementation is straightforward on that operating system. Otherwise, programmers are expected to use OS-specific logic to deal with the exception.

AT

Obtains errno from the return value of a system function call. For some systems this will obtain the value directly from the syscall return value; for others it will use a thread-local errno variable. Therefore, this function only returns a well-defined value when it is called directly after the system function call whose errno value is intended to be observed.

pub const AT = system.AT;

AT_SUN

Closes the file descriptor. Asserts the file descriptor is open. This function is not capable of returning any indication of failure. An application which wants to ensure writes have succeeded before closing must call fsync before close. The Zig standard library does not support POSIX thread cancellation.

pub const AT_SUN = system.AT_SUN;

CLOCK

Changes the mode of the file referred to by the file descriptor. The process must have the correct privileges in order to do this successfully, or must have the effective user ID matching the owner of the file.

pub const CLOCK = system.CLOCK;

CPU_COUNT

A component of path exceeded NAME_MAX, or the entire path exceeded PATH_MAX.

pub const CPU_COUNT = system.CPU_COUNT;

CTL

path resolves to a symbolic link, and AT.SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW was set in flags. This error only occurs on Linux, where changing the mode of a symbolic link has no meaning and can cause undefined behaviour on certain filesystems. The procfs fallback was used but procfs was not mounted.

pub const CTL = system.CTL;

DT

The procfs fallback was used but the process exceeded its open file limit.

pub const DT = system.DT;

E

The procfs fallback was used but the system exceeded it open file limit.

pub const E = system.E;

Elf_Symndx

Changes the mode of path relative to the directory referred to by dirfd. The process must have the correct privileges in order to do this successfully, or must have the effective user ID matching the owner of the file. On Linux the fchmodat2 syscall will be used if available, otherwise a workaround using procfs will be employed. Changing the mode of a symbolic link with AT.SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW set will also return OperationNotSupported, as: 1. Permissions on the link are ignored when resolving its target. 2. This operation has been known to invoke undefined behaviour across different filesystems[1]. [1]: https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-alpha/2020-02/msg00467.html.

pub const Elf_Symndx = system.Elf_Symndx;

F

Changes the owner and group of the file referred to by the file descriptor. The process must have the correct privileges in order to do this successfully. The group may be changed by the owner of the directory to any group of which the owner is a member. If the owner or group is specified as null, the ID is not changed.

pub const F = system.F;

FD_CLOEXEC

Obtain a series of random bytes. These bytes can be used to seed user-space random number generators or for cryptographic purposes. When linking against libc, this calls the appropriate OS-specific library call. Otherwise it uses the zig standard library implementation.

pub const FD_CLOEXEC = system.FD_CLOEXEC;

Flock

Causes abnormal process termination. If linking against libc, this calls the abort() libc function. Otherwise it raises SIGABRT followed by SIGKILL and finally lo Invokes the current signal handler for SIGABRT, if any.

pub const Flock = system.Flock;

HOST_NAME_MAX

Exits all threads of the program with the specified status code.

pub const HOST_NAME_MAX = system.HOST_NAME_MAX;

HW

This error occurs when no global event loop is configured, and reading from the file descriptor would block.

pub const HW = system.HW;

IFNAMESIZE

reading a timerfd with CANCEL_ON_SET will lead to this error when the clock goes through a discontinuous change

pub const IFNAMESIZE = system.IFNAMESIZE;

IOV_MAX

In WASI, this error occurs when the file descriptor does not hold the required rights to read from it.

pub const IOV_MAX = system.IOV_MAX;

IP

This error occurs in Linux if the process to be read from no longer exists.

pub const IP = system.IP;

IPV6

Unable to read file due to lock.

pub const IPV6 = system.IPV6;

IPPROTO

Returns the number of bytes that were read, which can be less than buf.len. If 0 bytes were read, that means EOF. If fd is opened in non blocking mode, the function will return error.WouldBlock when EAGAIN is received. Linux has a limit on how many bytes may be transferred in one read call, which is 0x7ffff000 on both 64-bit and 32-bit systems. This is due to using a signed C int as the return value, as well as stuffing the errno codes into the last 4096 values. This is noted on the read man page. The limit on Darwin is 0x7fffffff, trying to read more than that returns EINVAL. The corresponding POSIX limit is maxInt(isize).

pub const IPPROTO = system.IPPROTO;

IPTOS

Number of bytes read is returned. Upon reading end-of-file, zero is returned. For POSIX systems, if fd is opened in non blocking mode, the function will return error.WouldBlock when EAGAIN is received. On Windows, if the application has a global event loop enabled, I/O Completion Ports are used to perform the I/O. error.WouldBlock is not possible on Windows. This operation is non-atomic on the following systems: * Windows On these systems, the read races with concurrent writes to the same file descriptor. This function assumes that all vectors, including zero-length vectors, have a pointer within the address space of the application.

pub const IPTOS = system.IPTOS;

KERN

Number of bytes read is returned. Upon reading end-of-file, zero is returned. Retries when interrupted by a signal. For POSIX systems, if fd is opened in non blocking mode, the function will return error.WouldBlock when EAGAIN is received. On Windows, if the application has a global event loop enabled, I/O Completion Ports are used to perform the I/O. error.WouldBlock is not possible on Windows. Linux has a limit on how many bytes may be transferred in one pread call, which is 0x7ffff000 on both 64-bit and 32-bit systems. This is due to using a signed C int as the return value, as well as stuffing the errno codes into the last 4096 values. This is noted on the read man page. The limit on Darwin is 0x7fffffff, trying to read more than that returns EINVAL. The corresponding POSIX limit is maxInt(isize).

pub const KERN = system.KERN;

Kevent

Length must be positive when treated as an i64.

pub const Kevent = system.Kevent;

MADV

Number of bytes read is returned. Upon reading end-of-file, zero is returned. Retries when interrupted by a signal. For POSIX systems, if fd is opened in non blocking mode, the function will return error.WouldBlock when EAGAIN is received. On Windows, if the application has a global event loop enabled, I/O Completion Ports are used to perform the I/O. error.WouldBlock is not possible on Windows. This operation is non-atomic on the following systems: * Darwin * Windows On these systems, the read races with concurrent writes to the same file descriptor.

pub const MADV = system.MADV;

MAP

File descriptor does not hold the required rights to write to it.

pub const MAP = system.MAP;

MAX_ADDR_LEN

The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file. Windows-only.

pub const MAX_ADDR_LEN = system.MAX_ADDR_LEN;

MCL

This error occurs when no global event loop is configured, and reading from the file descriptor would block.

pub const MCL = system.MCL;

MFD

Connection reset by peer.

pub const MFD = system.MFD;

MLOCK

This error occurs in Linux if the process being written to no longer exists.

pub const MLOCK = system.MLOCK;

MREMAP

This error occurs when a device gets disconnected before or mid-flush while it's being written to - errno(6): No such device or address.

pub const MREMAP = system.MREMAP;

MSF

The socket type requires that message be sent atomically, and the size of the message to be sent made this impossible. The message is not transmitted.

pub const MSF = system.MSF;

MSG

Write to a file descriptor. Retries when interrupted by a signal. Returns the number of bytes written. If nonzero bytes were supplied, this will be nonzero. Note that a successful write() may transfer fewer than count bytes. Such partial writes can occur for various reasons; for example, because there was insufficient space on the disk device to write all of the requested bytes, or because a blocked write() to a socket, pipe, or similar was interrupted by a signal handler after it had transferred some, but before it had transferred all of the requested bytes. In the event of a partial write, the caller can make another write() call to transfer the remaining bytes. The subsequent call will either transfer further bytes or may result in an error (e.g., if the disk is now full). For POSIX systems, if fd is opened in non blocking mode, the function will return error.WouldBlock when EAGAIN is received. On Windows, if the application has a global event loop enabled, I/O Completion Ports are used to perform the I/O. error.WouldBlock is not possible on Windows. Linux has a limit on how many bytes may be transferred in one write call, which is 0x7ffff000 on both 64-bit and 32-bit systems.

The limit on Darwin is 0x7fffffff, trying to read more than that returns EINVAL. The corresponding POSIX limit is maxInt(isize).

pub const MSG = system.MSG;

NAME_MAX

Write multiple buffers to a file descriptor. Retries when interrupted by a signal. Returns the number of bytes written. If nonzero bytes were supplied, this will be nonzero. Note that a successful write() may transfer fewer bytes than supplied. Such partial writes can occur for various reasons; for example, because there was insufficient space on the disk device to write all of the requested bytes, or because a blocked write() to a socket, pipe, or similar was interrupted by a signal handler after it had transferred some, but before it had transferred all of the requested bytes. In the event of a partial write, the caller can make another write() call to transfer the remaining bytes. The subsequent call will either transfer further bytes or may result in an error (e.g., if the disk is now full). For POSIX systems, if fd is opened in non blocking mode, the function will return error.WouldBlock when EAGAIN is received. On Windows, if the application has a global event loop enabled, I/O Completion Ports are used to perform the I/O. error.WouldBlock is not possible on Windows. If iov.len is larger than IOV_MAX, a partial write will occur. This function assumes that all vectors, including zero-length vectors, have a pointer within the address space of the application.

pub const NAME_MAX = system.NAME_MAX;

NSIG

Write to a file descriptor, with a position offset. Retries when interrupted by a signal. Returns the number of bytes written. If nonzero bytes were supplied, this will be nonzero. Note that a successful write() may transfer fewer bytes than supplied. Such partial writes can occur for various reasons; for example, because there was insufficient space on the disk device to write all of the requested bytes, or because a blocked write() to a socket, pipe, or similar was interrupted by a signal handler after it had transferred some, but before it had transferred all of the requested bytes. In the event of a partial write, the caller can make another write() call to transfer the remaining bytes. The subsequent call will either transfer further bytes or may result in an error (e.g., if the disk is now full). For POSIX systems, if fd is opened in non blocking mode, the function will return error.WouldBlock when EAGAIN is received. On Windows, if the application has a global event loop enabled, I/O Completion Ports are used to perform the I/O. error.WouldBlock is not possible on Windows. Linux has a limit on how many bytes may be transferred in one pwrite call, which is 0x7ffff000 on both 64-bit and 32-bit systems. This is due to using a signed C int as the return value, as well as stuffing the errno codes into the last 4096 values. This is noted on the write man page. The limit on Darwin is 0x7fffffff, trying to write more than that returns EINVAL. The corresponding POSIX limit is maxInt(isize).

pub const NSIG = system.NSIG;

O

Write multiple buffers to a file descriptor, with a position offset. Retries when interrupted by a signal. Returns the number of bytes written. If nonzero bytes were supplied, this will be nonzero. Note that a successful write() may transfer fewer than count bytes. Such partial writes can occur for various reasons; for example, because there was insufficient space on the disk device to write all of the requested bytes, or because a blocked write() to a socket, pipe, or similar was interrupted by a signal handler after it had transferred some, but before it had transferred all of the requested bytes. In the event of a partial write, the caller can make another write() call to transfer the remaining bytes. The subsequent call will either transfer further bytes or may result in an error (e.g., if the disk is now full). If fd is opened in non blocking mode, the function will return error.WouldBlock when EAGAIN is received. The following systems do not have this syscall, and will return partial writes if more than one vector is provided: * Darwin * Windows If iov.len is larger than IOV_MAX, a partial write will occur.

pub const O = system.O;

PATH_MAX

In WASI, this error may occur when the file descriptor does not hold the required rights to open a new resource relative to it.

pub const PATH_MAX = system.PATH_MAX;

POLL

Either: * One of the path components does not exist. * Cwd was used, but cwd has been deleted. * The path associated with the open directory handle has been deleted. * On macOS, multiple processes or threads raced to create the same file with O.EXCL set to false.

pub const POLL = system.POLL;

POSIX_FADV

The path exceeded max_path_bytes bytes.

pub const POSIX_FADV = system.POSIX_FADV;

PR

Insufficient kernel memory was available, or the named file is a FIFO and per-user hard limit on memory allocation for pipes has been reached.

pub const PR = system.PR;

PROT

The file is too large to be opened. This error is unreachable for 64-bit targets, as well as when opening directories.

pub const PROT = system.PROT;

RLIM

The path refers to directory but the DIRECTORY flag was not provided.

pub const RLIM = system.RLIM;

RR

A new path cannot be created because the device has no room for the new file. This error is only reachable when the CREAT flag is provided.

pub const RR = system.RR;

S

A component used as a directory in the path was not, in fact, a directory, or DIRECTORY was specified and the path was not a directory.

pub const S = system.S;

This error occurs in Linux if the process to be open was not found.

pub const SIOCGIFINDEX = system.SIOCGIFINDEX;

SO

One of these three things: * pathname refers to an executable image which is currently being executed and write access was requested. * pathname refers to a file that is currently in use as a swap file, and the O_TRUNC flag was specified. * pathname refers to a file that is currently being read by the kernel (e.g., for module/firmware loading), and write access was requested.

pub const SO = system.SO;

SOCK

Open and possibly create a file. Keeps trying if it gets interrupted. On Windows, file_path should be encoded as [WTF-8](https://wtf-8.codeberg.page/).

Sigaction

This function ignores PATH environment variable. See execvpeZ for that.

pub const Sigaction = system.Sigaction;

Stat

Like execvpeZ except if arg0_expand is .expand, then argv is mutable, and argv[0] is expanded to be the same absolute path that is passed to the execve syscall. If this function returns with an error, argv[0] will be restored to the value it was when it was passed in.

rlimit

On Windows, antivirus software is enabled by default. It can be disabled, but Windows Update sometimes ignores the user's preference and re-enables it. When enabled, antivirus software on Windows intercepts file system operations and makes them significantly slower in addition to possibly failing with this error code.

The memory cannot be given the specified access. This can happen, for example, if you mmap(2) a file to which you have read-only access, then ask mprotect() to mark it PROT_WRITE.

Changing the protection of a memory region would result in the total number of map‐ pings with distinct attributes (e.g., read versus read/write protection) exceeding the allowed maximum. (For example, making the protection of a range PROT_READ in the mid‐ dle of a region currently protected as PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE would result in three map‐ pings: two read/write mappings at each end and a read-only mapping in the middle.)

fstat()

Transmit a message to another socket. The sendto call may be used only when the socket is in a connected state (so that the intended recipient is known). The following call send(sockfd, buf, len, flags); is equivalent to sendto(sockfd, buf, len, flags, NULL, 0); If sendto() is used on a connection-mode (SOCK.STREAM, SOCK.SEQPACKET) socket, the arguments dest_addr and addrlen are asserted to be null and 0 respectively, and asserted that the socket was actually connected. Otherwise, the address of the target is given by dest_addr with addrlen specifying its size. If the message is too long to pass atomically through the underlying protocol, SendError.MessageTooBig is returned, and the message is not transmitted. There is no indication of failure to deliver. When the message does not fit into the send buffer of the socket, sendto normally blocks, unless the socket has been placed in nonblocking I/O mode. In nonblocking mode it would fail with SendError.WouldBlock. The select call may be used to determine when it is possible to send more data.

fstatatZ()

Transmit a message to another socket. The send call may be used only when the socket is in a connected state (so that the intended recipient is known). The only difference between send and write is the presence of flags. With a zero flags argument, send is equivalent to write. Also, the following call send(sockfd, buf, len, flags); is equivalent to sendto(sockfd, buf, len, flags, NULL, 0); There is no indication of failure to deliver. When the message does not fit into the send buffer of the socket, send normally blocks, unless the socket has been placed in nonblocking I/O mode. In nonblocking mode it would fail with SendError.WouldBlock. The select call may be used to determine when it is possible to send more data.

KEventError

Transfer data between file descriptors at specified offsets. Returns the number of bytes written, which can less than requested. The copy_file_range call copies len bytes from one file descriptor to another. When possible, this is done within the operating system kernel, which can provide better performance characteristics than transferring data from kernel to user space and back, such as with pread and pwrite calls. fd_in must be a file descriptor opened for reading, and fd_out must be a file descriptor opened for writing. They may be any kind of file descriptor; however, if fd_in is not a regular file system file, it may cause this function to fall back to calling pread and pwrite, in which case atomicity guarantees no longer apply. If fd_in and fd_out are the same, source and target ranges must not overlap. The file descriptor seek positions are ignored and not updated. When off_in is past the end of the input file, it successfully reads 0 bytes. flags has different meanings per operating system; refer to the respective man pages. These systems support in-kernel data copying: * Linux (cross-filesystem from version 5.3) * FreeBSD 13.0 Other systems fall back to calling pread / pwrite. Maximum offsets on Linux and FreeBSD are maxInt(i64).

Returned when the requested event requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN permis‐ sions (or a more permissive perf_event paranoid setting). Some common cases where an unprivileged process may encounter this error: attaching to a process owned by a different user; moni‐ toring all processes on a given CPU (i.e., specifying the pid argument as -1); and not setting exclude_kernel when the para‐ noid setting requires it. Also: Returned on many (but not all) architectures when an unsupported exclude_hv, exclude_idle, exclude_user, or exclude_kernel set‐ ting is specified. It can also happen, as with EACCES, when the requested event re‐ quires CAP_SYS_ADMIN permissions (or a more permissive perf_event paranoid setting). This includes setting a break‐ point on a kernel address, and (since Linux 3.13) setting a ker‐ nel function-trace tracepoint.
