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.

----------------------------

.. rubric:: CONSTANT:

``CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_POSIX_KEYS``

.. rubric:: OPTION TYPE:

This configuration option is an integer define.

.. rubric:: DEFAULT VALUE:

The default value is 0.

.. rubric:: DESCRIPTION:

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

.. rubric:: NOTES:

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

.. rubric:: CONSTRAINTS:

The following constraints apply to this configuration option:

* The value of the configuration option shall be greater than or equal to zero.

* The value of the configuration option shall be less than or equal to 65535.

* The value of the configuration option 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.

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

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

.. rubric:: NOTES:

This object class can be configured in unlimited allocation mode, see

.. rubric:: 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.

.. rubric:: CONSTRAINTS:

.. rubric:: 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.
