\chapter{Generic Operating System Services}
The modules described in this chapter provide interfaces to operating
system features that are available on (almost) all operating systems,
such as files and a clock. The interfaces are generally modelled
after the \UNIX{} or C interfaces but they are available on most other
systems as well. Here's an overview:
\begin{description}
\item[os]
--- Miscellaneous OS interfaces.
\item[time]
--- Time access and conversions.
\item[getopt]
--- Parser for command line options.
\item[tempfile]
--- Generate temporary file names.
\item[errno]
--- Standard errno system symbols.
\item[glob]
--- Unix shell style pathname pattern expansion.
\item[fnmatch]
--- Unix shell style pathname pattern matching.
\item[locale]
--- Internationalization services.
