=======================

This section describes configuration options related to the POSIX API.  Most
POSIX API objects are available by default since RTEMS 5.1.  The queued signals
and timers are only available if RTEMS was built with the enable POSIX
build configuration option.

Named semaphores are created with :c:func:`sem_open`.  Semaphores
initialized with :c:func:`sem_init` are not affected by this
configuration option since the storage space for these semaphores is
user-provided.

This calculations for the required memory in the RTEMS Workspace for threads
assume that each thread has a minimum stack size and has floating point
support enabled.  The configuration option :ref:`CONFIGURE_EXTRA_TASK_STACKS` is used
