- Description:
-
- UnixLib is a complete replacement ANSI compliant C library. It
- incorporates a full Version 7 UNIX system call interface, with some
- common System V and 4.3 BSD C libraries.
-
- A major improvement with version 3.7 is the use of Dynamic Areas
- for the heap on RISC OS 3.5 or later, which can speed up context
- switching and allow the memory to be virtualised.
-
- Version 3.7b is now StrongARM compatible, and has significantly
- rewritten signal handling and process control.
