Excerpts from internet.computing.linux-kernel: 2-Mar-99 Posix.1b & Posix.1i ??? by Patrick MOUROT@sxb.bsf.a > > May be it is the wrong mailing list... but let me try : > -Is Linux 2.x supporting Posix.1b & posix.1i stuff ?? > AFAIK and IMHO : no ;-( > TIA !! >
Yes, all of the extensions offered in these standards are options. Currently aout half of them are supported. RT signals, RT scheduleing, and its rummored AIO is doing in Glibc 2.1.x. Currently we are missing Message Queues, SHM, and Semphores. Glibc already supports semphores under Posix.1c, they just need extened into the kernel to support IPC semphores and named semphores. The many problem is adding these extensions "right" is a pain to do. Maybe some day when I get time, if someone doesn't do them first.
