-some or many variants of it. Here's an overview:
-
-\begin{description}
-
-\item[posix]
---- The most common \POSIX{} system calls (normally used via module
-\module{os}).
-
-\item[posixpath]
---- Common \POSIX{} pathname manipulations (normally used via \code{os.path}).
-
-\item[pwd]
---- The password database (\function{getpwnam()} and friends).
-
-\item[grp]
---- The group database (\function{getgrnam()} and friends).
-
-\item[crypt]
---- The \cfunction{crypt()} function used to check \UNIX{} passwords.
-
-\item[dbm]
---- The standard ``database'' interface, based on \code{ndbm}.
-
-\item[gdbm]
---- GNU's reinterpretation of dbm.
-
-\item[termios]
---- \POSIX{} style tty control.
-
-\item[TERMIOS]
---- The symbolic constants required to use the \module{termios} module.
-
-\item[fcntl]
---- The \function{fcntl()} and \function{ioctl()} system calls.
-
-\item[posixfile]
---- A file-like object with support for locking.
-
-\item[resource]
---- An interface to provide resource usage information on the current
-process.
-
-\item[syslog]
---- An interface to the \UNIX{} \code{syslog} library routines.
-
-\item[stat]
---- Constants and functions for interpreting the results of
-\function{os.stat()}, \function{os.lstat()} and \function{os.fstat()}.
-
-\item[commands]
---- Wrapper functions for \function{os.popen()}.
