# Module std::os::unix 1.0.0 [−] [src]

Experimental extensions to `std` for Unix platforms.

For now, this module is limited to extracting file descriptors, but its functionality will grow over time.

# Example

    use std::fs::File;
    use std::os::unix::prelude::*;

    fn main() {
        let f = File::create("foo.txt").unwrap();
        let fd = f.as_raw_fd();

        // use fd with native unix bindings
    }Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
