there are also differences in header files, constants and so on. +Implementing them in FreeBSD would make porting software easier. + +Not all of the items there are fixable. +Some differences cannot be eliminated due to naming clashes, disagreements on how the system is supposed to work, or because it would make autoconf pick up a less functional compatibility API instead of the native one. +In such cases we should document it and advise what API to use instead. + +The wiki page aims to provide an overview and help track progress. +That is where your help is needed. +I need people who actually port software to FreeBSD to add missing APIs, based on their experiences. +This also includes non-syscall items, like missing headers and unsupported constants. +Preferably also mention the name of the software that could use them. + + * Add missing items + * Add prospective API consumers + +Sponsor: Innovate UK
