<#2#>posix<#2#>
This module provides access to operating system functionality that is
standardized by the C Standard and the POSIX standard (a thinly diguised
<#3#><#3#> interface).
It is available in all Python versions except on the Macintosh;
the MS-DOS version does not support certain functions.
The descriptions below are very terse; refer to the
corresponding <#4#><#4#> manual entry for more information.
Errors are reported as exceptions; the usual exceptions are given
for type errors, while errors reported by the system calls raise
<#5#>posix.error<#5#>, described below.
