<h1> The <tt>unixonacid</tt> library interface </h1>

<p>
<tt>libunixonacid</tt> provides higher-level interfaces to Unix
concepts such as the filesystem - for instance, it provides a way to
access several files atomically, be it for reading or for writing - or
interprocess communication.
</p>


<h2> Compiling </h2>

<ul>
 <li> Use <tt>#include &lt;skalibs/unixonacid.h&gt;</tt> </li>
</ul>

<h2> Programming </h2>

<p>
 The <tt>skalibs/unixonacid.h</tt> header is actually a concatenation of other
headers, every one of each declaring related structures, macros and
functions.
