1.百度百科定义
unistd.h 是 C 和 C++ 程序设计语言中提供对 POSIX 操作系统 API 的访问功能的头文件的名称。该头文件由 POSIX.1 标准(单一UNIX规范的基础)提出,故所有遵循该标准的操作系统和编译器均应提供该头文件(如 Unix 的所有官方版本,包括 Mac OS X、Linux 等)。
对于类 Unix 系统,unistd.h 中所定义的接口通常都是大量针对系统调用的封装(英语:wrapper functions),如 fork、pipe 以及各种 I/O 原语(read、write、close 等等)。
我的定义:
这是一个头文件,封装了类UNIX系统下的很多固定名称的system_call系统调用。所以,这个函数是依赖于编译器,依赖于操作系统的。
2.源码
可以从源码中,查看它封装了哪些固定名称的操作系统api。
