Standard File Descriptors

Name	Type	Value	Description
`StdIn`	`int32`	`0`	Standard input.
`StdOut`	`int32`	`1`	Standard output.
`StdErr`	`int32`	`2`	Standard error.

A process may close or redirect these conventional descriptors.

Syscall numbers differ by architecture; the package selects the right set for the active target:

Name	Type	Value	Description
`ProtectionNone`	`int32`	`0`	No access.
`ProtectionRead`	`int32`	`1`	Pages may be read.
`ProtectionWrite`	`int32`	`2`	Pages may be written.
`ProtectionExecute`	`int32`	`4`	Pages may be executed.

Combine protection values with bitwise OR.

Name	Type	Value	Description
`MapShared`	`int32`	`1`	Create a shared mapping.
`MapPrivate`	`int32`	`2`	Create a private copy-on-write mapping.
`MapFixed`	`int32`	`16`	Place the mapping at the exact address.
`MapAnonymous`	`int32`	`32`	Create a mapping not backed by a file.

Name	Type	Value	Description
`ClockRealtime`	`int32`	`0`	Settable wall-clock time.
`ClockMonotonic`	`int32`	`1`	Monotonic time since an unspecified point.

struct Timespec {
    seconds: int64;
    nanoseconds: int64;
}

Field	Type	Description
`seconds`	`int64`	Whole seconds.
`nanoseconds`	`int64`	Nanoseconds within the second, normally 0–999,999,999.

Nanosleep reads it as a relative duration; ClockGetTime writes a timestamp for the selected clock.
