-\chapter{Optional Operating System Services}
-\label{someos}
-
-The modules described in this chapter provide interfaces to operating
-system features that are available on selected operating systems only.
-The interfaces are generally modelled after the \UNIX{} or \C{}
-interfaces but they are available on some other systems as well
-(e.g. Windows or NT). Here's an overview:
-
-\begin{description}
-
-\item[signal]
---- Set handlers for asynchronous events.
-
-\item[socket]
---- Low-level networking interface.
-
-\item[select]
---- Wait for I/O completion on multiple streams.
-
-\item[thread]
---- Create multiple threads of control within one namespace.
-
-\item[Queue]
---- A stynchronized queue class.
-
-\item[anydbm]
---- Generic interface to DBM-style database modules.
-
-\item[whichdb]
---- Guess which DBM-style module created a given database.
-
-\item[zlib]
-\item[gzip]
---- Compression and decompression compatible with the
-\program{gzip} program (\module{zlib} is the low-level interface,
-\module{gzip} the high-level one).
