Niels Sascha Reedijk fc03b45a71 POSIX: make readv() and writev() conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 The standardized version of readv() and writev() take an int as the third parameter. Arguably a size_t makes more sense, but the standardization bodies decided otherwise. The non-standard functions of readv_pos() and writev_pos() have been updated for consistency. The corresponding _kern_readv() and _kern_writev() internal functions continue to take the size_t parameter. The ABI will not change, even though on 64 bit machines the size of the count parameter will change from 8 to 4 bytes. The actual use will be slightly different. Like with the size_t argument type, it will not be possible to give a count lower than 0. If the value is less than 0, then the B_BAD_VALUE/EINVAL error will be set.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
Clean, clear, concise code.
Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
