It is always +available, but not all functions are available on all platforms. Most +of the functions defined in this module call platform C library +functions with the same name. It may sometimes be helpful to consult +the platform documentation, because the semantics of these functions +varies among platforms. An explanation of some terminology and conventions is in order.
