This file defines all syscalls.

Syscalls are executed via pb_syscall defined in abi.h.

The API only evolves forward; syscalls are backwards compatible, (i.e. a program built for an older system works on newer systems.)

Creates a new audio buffer and uploads it to the sound mixer.

PBSysAudioOutputInit

bool PBSysAudioOutputInit(PBSysHandle audio);

Inits the audio output backend for sound playback (globally). It has been observed that sometimes this can take a little while (e.g. ~200ms when using bluetooth headphones on MacOS). As such, you should call this at the start of your program if you intend to play audio.

PBSysAudioBufferCreateFromFile

PBSysChannelCreate creates a channel which supports writing entries of entSize bytes.

If the PBSysChannel_DUPLEX flag is set, the returned handles will have both PBSysRight_READ and PBSysRight_WRITE. PBSysChannel_DUPLEX is implied if readHandleOut is NULL.

If the PBSysChannel_MULTIPLE_WRITERS flag is set, the returned handle will have PBSysRight_DUPLICATE. Similarly, if the PBSysChannel_MULTIPLE_READERS flag is set, a handle returned in readHandleOut will have PBSysRight_DUPLICATE.

PBSysChannelRead

i32 PBSysChannelRead(PBSysHandle channel,
                     void*       dstEnts,

Panics if srcEntSize is different than the entSize the channel was created with.

PBSysChannelDisableWrite

PBSysErr PBSysChannelDisableWrite(PBSysHandle channel);

PBSysChannelDisableWrite disables the ability to write to the channel, while reading remains possible. This is useful for "graceful shutdown" of channels; preventing new data from being produces while allowing queued data to be flushed.

PBSysTime PBSysClockMonotonic();

PBSysClockMonotonic returns the current system time

PBSysClockRead

PBSysDate PBSysClockRead(PBSysHandle clock);

PBSysClockRead returns the current "real" (calendar) time in UTC. On error, a PBSysErr is returned as a negative value. Thus, this function never returns a time value earlier than 1970-01-01 00:00:00.

                          u64         flags);

PBSysFileOpen opens a file or directory that's contained within a directory denoted by dir.

The effective rights given to the opened file must be the same or a subset of the rights given to the fs handle. I.e. on a read-only filesystem you cannot pass PBSysFileOpenFlag_WRITE.

The resulting handle is given PBSysRight_TRANSFER and PBSysRight_DUPLICATE, in addition to PBSysRight_READ and/or PBSysRight_WRITE as defined by flags.

PBSysFileRead

i64 PBSysFileRead(PBSysHandle     file,
                  const PBSysBuf* bufs,

                                 PBSysHandleName name);

PBSysHandleDuplicate creates a new handle to the object referred to by handle. rights controls what rights are given and can only be same or less than the rights granted to handle. Use PBSysRight_SAME_RIGHTS for "same rights." Note: The new handle is unconditionally given PBSysRight_TRANSFER.

PBSysHandleList

i32 PBSysHandleList(PBSysHandleInfo* handles,
                    u32              handlesCap,

PBSysNetConnect

PBSysHandle PBSysNetConnect(PBSysHandle                  net,
                            const u8*                    uri,
                            u32                          uriLen,
                            const PBSysNetConnectConfig* config,
                            u32                          configSize);

PBSysNetConnect opens a stream connected to a network endpoint.

URIs have the form protocol:node, i.e.

tcp:host:port  TCP/IP socket
local:path     Local socket (aka UNIX socket)

The underlying implementation may not support the requested protocol.

The returned stream will have its PBSysStreamSignal_WRITABLE activated when the connection has been established.

PBSysNetSessionId

PBSysErr PBSysNetSessionId(PBSysHandle netSession,
                           u8*         sessionIdBuf,

PBSysObjectObserve

PBSysErr PBSysObjectObserve(PBSysHandle  handle,
                            PBSysSignals signals,
                            u32          flags);

PBSysObjectObserve configures signal observation of the object referred to by handle.

Signal observation is "level" triggered by default, meaning that whenever an observed signal becomes active, a PBSysEventLegacy.signal is produced, until you cancel observation by calling this function with signals=0. By setting the PBSysObjectObserve_ONCE flag, the behavior changes to be "edge" triggered, where one PBSysObjectObserve call yields just one signal event. If you want to keep observing an object after a signal event in "edge" triggered mode, you need to issue another call to PBSysObjectObserve. ONCE is manily useful for one-off observers of e.g. single-fire timers or threads.

Setting signals to 0 has the effect of canceling observation. If PBSysObjectObserve_ADD is set in flags, setting signals to 0 is an error (PBSysErr_INVALID).

This function may be called multiple times to modify what signals are observed.

PBSysObjectSignal

PBSysErr PBSysObjectSignal(PBSysHandle  handle,
                           PBSysSignals disableUserSignals,

                        i32         height);

PBSysTextplanLayout lays a text document into a rectangular bounding box.

textPlan: The text plan to contain the resulting layout.

flags: Flags bitwise OR-ed together controlling the text layout operation. The available flags are

width: The width of the rectangular bounding box in pixels. Set to 0 for infinite space (and thus preventing line wrapping or truncation).

height: The height of the rectangular bounding box in pixels. Set to 0 for infinite space.

If the system detects that the new bounding box will not affect the existing layout in the text plan, this function will do nothing.

This function performs text shaping and then places the resulting glyphs into lines. If a line were to go off the right side of the box, it will either be truncated with an ellipsis character or wrap to a new line, depending on whether PBTextPlanLayout_ONE_LINE is set.

Once this function has been called, you can use the other text plan functions.

PBSysTextplanGetSize

u64 PBSysTextplanGetSize(PBSysHandle textPlan);

PBSysTextplanGetSize: Get the size of a text plan's layout.

textPlan: The text plan object.

Return value: The width and height of the plan. The macros PBTextplanWidthOfSize and PBTextplanHeightOfSize can be used to extract the two values from the return value of the function. The returned width is the width of the widest line in the plan in pixels. The returned height is the distance from the top of the first line to the bottom of the last line in pixels.

This function gives no information about where text glyphs may actually be drawn. Glyphs can extend outside the boundaries of the line on which they are placed.

You must call PBSysTextplanLayout before calling this function.
