if it's handy for you, can you post a link to the API defined by
POSIX and completion ports so I can read them too and not only SuS?

btw, I don't see why there are so many API doing the same thing, I think
for the goodness of linux it would be nice to standardize and recommend
one of these user API so new software will use the API we recommend now,
rather than choosing almost randomly every time. So the rest will be
backwards compatibilty stuff for apps ported from other OS, and it will
be worthwhile to have the kernel API to match what we recommend as user
API.
