\chapter{Optional Operating System Services}
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.
\end{description}
