microscrap/posix — POSIX bindings for ScrapyardIO
=================================================

[](#microscrapposix--posix-bindings-for-scrapyardio)

PHP library that wraps the [**posi**](https://github.com/php-io-extensions/posi) extension with global helpers and enums. Every helper delegates to `Posi\System`.

This project provides bindings to the UNIX Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX).

Highlights
----------

[](#highlights)

- Retrieve file descriptors to replace `fopen`
- Read and write to file descriptors beyond streams, replacing `fread` and `fwrite`
- Direct access to `fcntl`
- Direct access to `ioctl`

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.3+
- **ext-posi** ^0.4.0 — install from [php-io-extensions/posi](https://github.com/php-io-extensions/posi) (see that repo for build and enable instructions)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Confirm **ext-posi** is loaded before using this library:

```
php -m | grep posi
```

```
composer require microscrap/posix
```

Composer autoloads `src/Helpers/posix-system.php`, registering the global helpers when the package is installed.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

POSIX I/O is invoked through **global helper functions** (for example `posix_open`, `posix_read`). Helpers are only defined if the name is not already taken (`function_exists` guard).

Optional enums live under `Microscrap\Bindings\POSIX\Enums` (`FileControlFlag`, `FcntlCommand`).
