+ General error handling information.
+ <ul>
+ <li> Most of the functions available in this library may fail. If any error
+ occurs the function returns <strong>nil or false</strong>, an error code
+ (usually errno) and an additional error message text (if avaialable).</li>
+ <li>At the moment false is only returned when a non-blocking I/O function
+ fails with EAGAIN, EWOULDBLOCK or WSAEWOULDBLOCK for any others nil is
+ returned as first parameter. Therefore you can use false to write portable
+ non-blocking I/O applications.</li>
+ <li>Note that the function documentation does only mention the return values
+ in case of a successful operation.</li>
+ <li>You can find a table of common error numbers and other useful constants
+ like signal numbers in <strong>nixio.const</strong> e.g. nixio.const.EINVAL,
+ nixio.const.SIGTERM, etc. For portability there is a second error constant
+ table <strong>nixio.const_sock</strong> for socket error codes. This might
+ be important if you are dealing with Windows applications, on POSIX however
+ const_sock is just an alias for const.</li>
+ <li>With some exceptions - which are explicitly stated in the function
+ documentation - all blocking functions are signal-protected and will not fail
+ with EINTR.</li>
+ <li>On POSIX the SIGPIPE signal will be set to ignore upon initialization.
+ You should restore the default behaviour or set a custom signal handler
+ in your program after loading nixio if you need this behaviour.</li>
+ </ul>

+<dd>
+ Function conventions.
+ <br />In general all functions are namend and behave like their POSIX API
+ counterparts - where applicable - applying the following rules:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Functions should be named like the underlying POSIX API function omitting
+ prefixes or suffixes - especially when placed in an object-context (
+ lockf -> File:lock, fsync -> File:sync, dup2 -> dup, ...)</li>
+ <li>If you are unclear about the behaviour of a function you should consult
+ your OS API documentation (e.g. the manpages).</li>
+ <li>If the name is significantly different from the POSIX-function, the
+ underlying function(s) are stated in the documentation.</li>
+ <li>Parameters should reflect those of the C-API, buffer length arguments and
+ by-reference parameters should be omitted for practical purposes.</li>
+ <li>If a C function accepts a bitfield as parameter, it should be translated
+ into lower case string flags representing the flags if the bitfield is the
+ last parameter and also omitting prefixes or suffixes. (e.g. waitpid
+ (pid, &s, WNOHANG | WUNTRACED) -> waitpid(pid, "nohang", "untraced"),
+ getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &opt, sizeof(opt)) ->
+ Socket:getopt("socket", "reuseaddr"), etc.) </li>
+ <li>If it is not applicable to provide a string representation of the
+ bitfield a bitfield generator helper is provided. It is named FUNCTION_flags.
+ (open("/tmp/test", O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK) -> open("/tmp/test", open_flags(
+ "rdonly", "nonblock")))</li>
+ </ul>

+<dd>
+ Platform information.
+ <ul>
+ <li>The minimum platform requirements are a decent POSIX 2001 support.
+ Builds are more or less tested on Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD. Builds for
+ Windows XP SP1 and later can be compiled with MinGW either from Windows
+ itself or using the MinGW cross-compiler. Earlier versions of Windows are not
+ supported.</li>
+ <li>In general all functions which don't have any remarks
+ in their documentation are available on all platforms.</li>
+ <li>Functions with a (POSIX), (Linux) or similar prefix are only available
+ on these specific platforms. Same appplies to parameters of functions
+ with a similar suffix.</li>
+ <li>Some functions might have limitations on some platforms. This should
+ be stated in the documentation. Please also consult your OS API
+ documentation.</li>
+ </ul>

+<dd>
+ Cryptography and TLS libraries.
+ <ul>
+ <li>Currently 3 underlying cryptography libraries are supported: openssl,
+ cyassl and axTLS. The name of the library in use is written to
+ <strong>nixio.tls_provider</strong></li>
+ <li>You should whenever possible use openssl or cyassl as axTLS has only
+ limited support. It does not provide support for non-blocking sockets and
+ is probably less audited than the other ones.</li>
+ <li>As the supported Windows versions are not suitable for embedded devices
+ axTLS is at the moment not supported on Windows.</li>
+ </ul>
