POSIX Processes

These applications have access to a fully POSIX-compliant API for process management, signals, threads, input/output, memory management, thread sysnchronization, and timing services. This greatly extends the functionality of the ChorusOS operating system, at the same time as allowing easier migration to applications developed by the user, and closer conformity with the Solaris operating environment.

These applications also have access to APIs developed for the ChorusOS services (non existent in POSIX) that conform to the POSIX style, such as system events, black box, watchdog, IPC, and MIPC.
