librt(3LIB) Interface Libraries librt(3LIB)NAME
librt, libposix4 - POSIX.1b Realtime Extensions library
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lrt [ library... ]
DESCRIPTION
Functions in this library provide most of the interfaces specified by
the POSIX.1b Realtime Extension. See standards(5). Specifically, this
includes the interfaces defined under the Asynchronous I/O, Message
Passing, Process Scheduling, Realtime Signals Extension, Semaphores,
Shared Memory Objects, Synchronized I/O, and Timers options. The inter‐
faces defined under the Memory Mapped Files, Process Memory Locking,
and Range Memory Locking options are provided in libc(3LIB).
See the man pages for the individual interfaces in section 3RT for
information on required headers.
The name libposix4 is maintained for backward compatibility and should
be avoided. librt is the preferred name for this library.
INTERFACES
