This manual contains the list of the different ChorusOS APIs and features.
Some of those APIs are always available in the system, such as the APIs provided as part of the ChorusOS core executive or of the pure library functions.
Other APIs depend on a specific feature value in the ChorusOS system configuration. To understand the relationship between features, use the ews(1CC) configuration tool (see the ChorusOS 4.0 Introduction).
The implementation of a feature API is done dynamically at system build:
The ChorusOS: APIs and features are described in man pages grouped in section 5FEA. Features are identified by their feature name as known in the configuration tools. APIs, or modules implementing the APIs, are identified by a generic keyword, for example MEM for memory management APIs. Some of the features and APIs may be grouped in families and described in the same page.
For more information on a particular feature or API, see the manual page in this 5FEA section.
