Module libafl_bolts::os

Operating System specific abstractions

Modules

• pipes
  Unix pipe wrapper for LibAFL
• unix_shmem_server
  On Android, we can only share maps between processes by serializing fds over sockets. On MacOS, we cannot rely on reference counting for Maps. Hence, the unix_shmem_server keeps track of existing maps, creates new maps for clients, and forwards them over unix domain sockets.
• unix_signals
  Signal handling for unix

Structs

• ChildHandle
  Child Process Handle

Enums

• ForkResult
  The ForkResult (result of a fork)

Functions

• dup
  “Safe” wrapper around dup, duplicating the given file descriptor
• dup2
  “Safe” wrapper around dup2
• fork^⚠
  Unix has forks.
• last_error_str
  Gets the stringified version of the last errno. This is roughly equivalent to strerror(errno) in C.
• null_fd
  Get a file descriptor (RawFd) pointing to “/dev/null”
• startable_self
  Executes the current process from the beginning, as subprocess. use start_self.status()? to wait for the child
