//! Rust friendly bindings to the various *nix system functions.
//!
//! Modules are structured according to the C header file that they would be
//! defined in.
//!
//! # Features
//!
//! Nix uses the following Cargo features to enable optional functionality.
//! They may be enabled in any combination.
//! * `acct` - Process accounting
//! * `aio` - POSIX AIO
//! * `dir` - Stuff relating to directory iteration
//! * `env` - Manipulate environment variables
//! * `event` - Event-driven APIs, like `kqueue` and `epoll`
//! * `features` - Query characteristics of the OS at runtime
//! * `fs` - File system functionality
//! * `hostname` - Get and set the system's hostname
//! * `inotify` - Linux's `inotify` file system notification API
//! * `ioctl` - The `ioctl` syscall, and wrappers for my specific instances
//! * `kmod` - Load and unload kernel modules
//! * `mman` - Stuff relating to memory management
//! * `mount` - Mount and unmount file systems
//! * `mqueue` - POSIX message queues
//! * `net` - Networking-related functionality
//! * `personality` - Set the process execution domain
//! * `poll` - APIs like `poll` and `select`
//! * `process` - Stuff relating to running processes
//! * `pthread` - POSIX threads
//! * `ptrace` - Process tracing and debugging
//! * `quota` - File system quotas
//! * `reboot` - Reboot the system
//! * `resource` - Process resource limits
//! * `sched` - Manipulate process's scheduling
//! * `signal` - Send and receive signals to processes
//! * `term` - Terminal control APIs
//! * `time` - Query the operating system's clocks
//! * `ucontext` - User thread context
//! * `uio` - Vectored I/O
//! * `users` - Stuff relating to users and groups
//! * `zerocopy` - APIs like `sendfile` and `copy_file_range`
