POSIX API Configuration
=======================

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.

CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_POSIX_KEYS
----------------------------

CONSTANT:
    ``CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_POSIX_KEYS``

OPTION TYPE:
    This configuration option is an integer define.

DEFAULT VALUE:
    The default value is 0.

VALUE CONSTRAINTS:
    The value of this configuration option shall satisfy all of the following
    constraints:

    * It shall be greater than or equal to 0.

    * It shall be less than or equal to 65535.

    * It shall be less than or equal to a
      BSP-specific and application-specific value which depends on the size of the
      memory available to the application.

    * It may be defined through
      :c:func:`rtems_resource_unlimited` the enable unlimited objects for this
      object class, if the value passed to :c:func:`rtems_resource_unlimited`
      satisfies all other constraints of this configuration option.

DESCRIPTION:
    The value of this configuration option defines the maximum number of POSIX
    API Keys that can be concurrently active.

NOTES:
    This object class can be configured in unlimited allocation mode, see
    :ref:`ConfigUnlimitedObjects`.

    :ref:`CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_POSIX_THREADS`.

VALUE CONSTRAINTS:
    The value of this configuration option shall satisfy all of the following
    constraints:

    * It shall be greater than or equal to 0.

    * It shall be less than or equal to 65535.

    * It shall be less than or equal to a
      BSP-specific and application-specific value which depends on the size of the
      memory available to the application.

    * It may be defined through

      object class, if the value passed to :c:func:`rtems_resource_unlimited`
      satisfies all other constraints of this configuration option.

DESCRIPTION:
    The value of this configuration option defines the maximum number of key
    value pairs used by POSIX API Keys that can be concurrently active.

NOTES:
    This object class can be configured in unlimited allocation mode, see
    :ref:`ConfigUnlimitedObjects`.

    A key value pair is created by :c:func:`pthread_setspecific` if the value
    is not `NULL <https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/types/NULL>`_, otherwise it is deleted.

      memory available to the application.

    * It shall be small enough so that the
      RTEMS Workspace size calculation carried out by ``<rtems/confdefs.h>`` does
      not overflow an integer of type `uintptr_t <https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/types/integer>`_.

    * It may be defined through

      satisfies all other constraints of this configuration option.

DESCRIPTION:
    The value of this configuration option defines the maximum number of POSIX
    API Message Queues that can be concurrently active.

NOTES:
    This object class can be configured in unlimited allocation mode, see
    :ref:`ConfigUnlimitedObjects`.  You have to account for the memory used to
    store the messages of each message queue, see
    :ref:`CONFIGURE_MESSAGE_BUFFER_MEMORY`.

    * It shall be zero if the POSIX API is not
      enabled (e.g. RTEMS was built without the ``--enable-posix`` build
      configuration option).  Otherwise a compile time error in the configuration
      file will occur.

DESCRIPTION:
    The value of this configuration option defines the maximum number of POSIX
    API Queued Signals that can be concurrently active.

      satisfies all other constraints of this configuration option.

DESCRIPTION:
    The value of this configuration option defines the maximum number of POSIX
    API Named Semaphores that can be concurrently active.

NOTES:
    This object class can be configured in unlimited allocation mode, see
    :ref:`ConfigUnlimitedObjects`.

    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.

DESCRIPTION:
    The value of this configuration option defines the maximum number of POSIX
    API Threads that can be concurrently active.

NOTES:
    This object class can be configured in unlimited allocation mode, see
    :ref:`ConfigUnlimitedObjects`.

    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
    to specify thread stack requirements **above** the minimum size required.

    The maximum number of Classic API Tasks is specified by
    :ref:`CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_TASKS`.

    All POSIX threads have floating point enabled.

      satisfies all other constraints of this configuration option.

    * It shall be zero if the POSIX API is not
      enabled (e.g. RTEMS was built without the ``--enable-posix`` build
      configuration option).  Otherwise a compile time error in the configuration
      file will occur.

DESCRIPTION:
    The value of this configuration option defines the maximum number of POSIX
    API Timers that can be concurrently active.

NOTES:
    This object class can be configured in unlimited allocation mode, see
    :ref:`ConfigUnlimitedObjects`.

    Timers are only available if RTEMS was built with the
