Note

Some features may exhibit undefined behaviour as they fall beyond the scope of Zephyr’s current design and capabilities. For example, multi-processing, ad-hoc memory-mapping, multiple users, or regular expressions are features that are uncommon in low-footprint embedded systems. Such undefined behaviour is denoted with the † (obelus) symbol. Additional details here.

Note

Features listed in various POSIX Options or Option Groups may be provided in whole or in part by a conformant C library implementation. This includes (but is not limited to) POSIX Extensions to the ISO C Standard (CX).
