6 Gnulib module: sys_types
8 Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
11 The type @code{pid_t} is not defined on some platforms:
14 The type @code{size_t} is not defined in this file on some platforms:
17 The type @code{ssize_t} is not defined on some platforms:
20 The type @code{mode_t} is not defined on some platforms:
23 Some systems leak definitions of @code{major}, @code{minor}, and
24 @code{makedev} through this header; however, when
25 @file{sys/sysmacros.h} exists, that file should also be included to
26 avoid deprecation warnings from the versions in this header:
30 Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
33 On some platforms the types @code{blksize_t} and @code{suseconds_t}
34 are signed integer types that are wider than @code{long}:
38 This module, together with the module @code{largefile}, also defines the type
39 @code{off_t} to a 64-bit integer type on some platforms:
