Γενικές Υπηρεσίες Λειτουργικού Συστήματος
*****************************************

Τα modules που περιγράφονται σε αυτό το κεφάλαιο παρέχουν διεπαφές για
λειτουργίες του λειτουργικού συστήματος που είναι διαθέσιμες σε
(σχεδόν) όλα τα λειτουργικά συστήματα, όπως τα αρχεία και το ρολόι. Οι
διεπαφές είναι γενικά βασισμένες στα πρότυπα των Unix ή C, αλλά είναι
διαθέσιμες και στα περισσότερα άλλα συστήματα. Ακολουθεί μια
