//! Low-level implementation details for libc-like runtime libraries.
//!
//! These functions are for implementing thread-local storage (TLS),
//! managing threads, loaded libraries, and other process-wide resources.
//! Most of `rustix` doesn't care about what other libraries are linked into
//! the program or what they're doing, but the features in this module
//! generally can only be used by one entity within a process.
//!
//! The API for these functions is not stable, and this module is
//! `doc(hidden)`.
//!
//! # Safety
//!
//! This module is intended to be used for implementing a runtime library
//! such as libc. Use of these features for any other purpose is likely
//! to create serious problems.
