Expand description
Platform-specific extensions to std for Unix platforms.
Provides access to platform-level information on Unix platforms, and
exposes Unix-specific functions that would otherwise be inappropriate as
part of the core std library.
It exposes more ways to deal with platform-specific strings (OsStr,
OsString), allows to set permissions more granularly, extract low-level
file descriptors from files and sockets, and has platform-specific helpers
for spawning processes.
