Manual compilation instructions
-------------------------------

[](#manual-compilation-instructions)

### Zephir

[](#zephir)

- Clone this repository and checkout the release to use (or master for the latest updates)
- `cd posi`
- Run the installer for your platform
    - Raspberry Pi: `bash install-debian-trixie.sh`
    - macOS: `bash install-macos.sh`
    - Jetson Orin (Nano Super): `bash install-jetpack6.sh`
    - The installer will compile the extension and add it to your PHP ini automatically

### PIE

[](#pie)

- NOTE: If using Laravel Herd to serve PHP, use Zephir via the install scripts.
- Clone this repository and checkout the release to use (or master for the latest updates)
- `cd posi`
- `pie install`

Automated compilation instructions
----------------------------------

[](#automated-compilation-instructions)

- `pie install php-io-extensions/posi`
- The installer should compile and stash the extension where the default PHP binary stores its ini.
- If PIE does not automatically enable the extension, add it to your `php.ini` (module name is typically `pposix`):

    ```
    extension=posi
    ```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

POSIX I/O is invoked through the `Posi\System` class. All methods are static.
