		apr_time_t *	aprtime
	)

Get the imploded time in the platforms native format.

Parameters:

ostime	the native time format
aprtime	the time to convert

apr_status_t apr_os_imp_time_put	(	apr_time_t *	aprtime,
		apr_os_imp_time_t **	ostime,
		apr_pool_t *	cont
	)

Put the imploded time in the APR format.

Parameters:

ostime	the time to convert
cont	the pool to use if necessary

const char* apr_os_locale_encoding

(

apr_pool_t *

pool

)

Get the name of the current locale character set.

Parameters:

pool	the pool to allocate the name from, if needed

Remarks:

Defers to apr_os_default_encoding if the current locale's data can't be retrieved on this system.

apr_status_t apr_os_pipe_put	(	apr_file_t **	file,
		apr_os_file_t *	thefile,
		apr_pool_t *	cont
	)

convert the file from os specific type to apr type.

Parameters:

file	The apr file we are converting to.
thefile	The os specific pipe to convert
cont	The pool to use if it is needed.

Remarks:

On Unix, it is only possible to put a file descriptor into an apr file type.

apr_status_t apr_os_pipe_put_ex	(	apr_file_t **	file,
		apr_os_file_t *	thefile,
		int	register_cleanup,
		apr_pool_t *	cont
	)

convert the file from os specific type to apr type.

Parameters:

file	The apr file we are converting to.
thefile	The os specific pipe to convert
register_cleanup	A cleanup will be registered on the apr_file_t to issue apr_file_close().
cont	The pool to use if it is needed.

Remarks:

On Unix, it is only possible to put a file descriptor into an apr file type.

apr_status_t apr_os_proc_mutex_get	(	apr_os_proc_mutex_t *	ospmutex,
		apr_proc_mutex_t *	pmutex
	)

Convert the proc mutex from os specific type to apr type

Parameters:

pmutex	The apr proc mutex to convert.

apr_status_t apr_os_proc_mutex_put	(	apr_proc_mutex_t **	pmutex,
		apr_os_proc_mutex_t *	ospmutex,
		apr_pool_t *	cont
	)

Convert the proc mutex from os specific type to apr type

Parameters:

pmutex	The apr proc mutex we are converting to.
ospmutex	The os specific proc mutex to convert.
cont	The pool to use if it is needed.

apr_status_t apr_os_shm_get	(	apr_os_shm_t *	osshm,
		apr_shm_t *	shm

convert the shared memory from os specific type to apr type.

Parameters:

shm	The apr shm representation of osshm
osshm	The os specific shm identity
cont	The pool to use if it is needed.

Remarks:

On fork()ed architectures, this is typically nothing more than the memory block mapped. On non-fork architectures, this is typically some internal handle to pass the mapping from process to process.

apr_status_t apr_os_sock_get	(	apr_os_sock_t *	thesock,
		apr_socket_t *	sock
	)

Convert the socket from an apr type to an OS specific socket

Parameters:

thesock	The socket to convert.
sock	The os specific equivalent of the apr socket..

apr_status_t apr_os_sock_make	(	apr_socket_t **	apr_sock,
		apr_os_sock_info_t *	os_sock_info,
		apr_pool_t *	cont
	)

Create a socket from an existing descriptor and local and remote socket addresses.

Parameters:

apr_sock	The new socket that has been set up
os_sock_info	The os representation of the socket handle and other characteristics of the socket
cont	The pool to use

Remarks:

If you only know the descriptor/handle or if it isn't really a true socket, use apr_os_sock_put() instead.

apr_status_t apr_os_sock_put	(	apr_socket_t **	sock,
		apr_os_sock_t *	thesock,
		apr_pool_t *	cont
	)

Convert a socket from the os specific type to the apr type

Parameters:

sock	The pool to use.
thesock	The socket to convert to.
cont	The socket we are converting to an apr type.

Remarks:

If it is a true socket, it is best to call apr_os_sock_make() and provide APR with more information about the socket.
