1	NSPR	NSPR
		Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) provides a platform-neutral API for system level and libc-like functions. The API is used in the Mozilla clients, many of Red Hat's and Sun's server applications, and other software offerings.
2	About NSPR
		NetScape Portable Runtime (NSPR) provides platform independence for non-GUI operating system facilities. These facilities include threads, thread synchronization, normal file and network I/O, interval timing and calendar time, basic memory management (malloc and free) and shared library linking.

5	NSPR API Reference	NSPR, NSPR_API_Reference
		No summary!
6	Anonymous Shared Memory	IPC, NSPR, NSPR_API_Reference, Shared Memory
		This chapter describes the NSPR API for anonymous shared memory.
7	Atomic Operations	NSPR, NSPR_API_Reference
		This chapter describes the global functions you use to perform atomic operations. The functions define a portable API that may be reliably used in any environment. Since not all operating environments provide access to such functions, their performance may vary considerably.
8	Cached Monitors	NSPR, NSPR_API_Reference
		This chapter describes the functions you use when you work with cached monitors. Unlike a plain monitor, a cached monitor is associated with the address of a protected object, and the association is maintained only while the protection is needed. This arrangement allows a cached monitor to be associated with another object without preallocating a monitor for all objects. A hash table is used to quickly map addresses to their respective monitors. The system automatically enlarges the hash table as needed.
9	Condition Variables	NSPR, NSPR_API_Reference
		This chapter describes the API for creating and destroying condition variables, notifying condition variables of changes in monitored data, and making a thread wait on such notification.

		The Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) API allows compliant applications to use system facilities such as threads, thread synchronization, I/O, interval timing, atomic operations, and several other low-level services in a platform-independent manner. This chapter introduces key NSPR programming concepts and illustrates them with sample code.

		This chapter describes the NSPR API for creation and manipulation of a mutex of type PRLock.
21	Logging	NSPR, NSPR_API_Reference

22	Long Long (64-bit) Integers	NSPR, NSPR_API_Reference
		No summary!
23	Memory Management Operations	NSPR, NSPR_API_Reference

352	NSPR Contributor Guide	NSPR
		Abstract:
353	NSPR Poll Method	NSPR
		This technical note documents the poll method of PRFileDesc. The poll method is not to be confused with the PR_Poll function. The poll method operates on a single NetScape Portable Runtime (NSPR) file descriptor, whereas PR_Poll operates on a collection of NSPR file descriptors. PR_Poll uses the poll method behind the scene, but it is also possible to use the poll method directly.
354	NSPR build instructions	Developing Mozilla, NSPR
		On Windows, the NSPR build system needs GNU make and a Unix command-line utility suite such as MKS Toolkit, Cygwin, and MSYS. The easiest way to get these tools is to install the MozillaBuild package.
355	NSPR release procedure
		Right now I use the mozilla/nsprpub/admin/repackage.sh script to generate the binary distributions published on ftp.mozilla.org. As the name of the shell script implies, repackage.sh merely repackages binary distributions in a different format.
356	NSPR release process
		No summary!
357	NSPR's Position On Abrupt Thread Termination	NSPR
		This memo describes my position on a facility that is currently under discussion for inclusion in the NetScape Portable Runtime (NSPR); the ability of a thread to abruptly exit. I resist including this function in NSPR because it results in bad programming practice and unsupportable programs.
358	Nonblocking IO In NSPR	NSPR
		Previously, all I/O in the NetScape Portable Runtime (NSPR) was blocking (or synchronous). A thread invoking an io function is blocked until the io operation is finished. The blocking io model encourages the use of multiple threads as a programming model. A thread is typically created to attend to one of the simultaneous I/O operations that may potentially block.
359	Optimizing Applications For NSPR	NSPR
		NetScape Portable Runtime (NSPR) tries to provide a consistent level of service across the platforms it supports. This has proven to be quite challenging, a challenge that was met to a large degree, but there is always room for improvement. The casual client may not encounter a need to know the details of the shortcomings to the level described here, but if and when clients become more sophisticated, these issues will certainly surface.
360	Process Forking in NSPR	NSPR
		The threads provided in NetScape Portable Runtime (NSPR) are implemented using different mechanisms on the various platforms. On some platforms, NSPR threads directly map one-to-one to the threads provided by the platform vendor, on other platforms NSPR threads are basically user-level threads within a single process (with no kernel threads) and on still others NSPR threads are user-level threads implemented on top of one or more kernel threads within single address space.
361	Programs Using NSPR	NSPR, NeedsContent, NeedsHelp, NeedsRelocation
		The following programs are known to use NSPR, or portions of it:
362	Running NSPR tests	NSPR
		NSPR has a test suite in the mozilla/nsprpub/pr/tests directory.
