(** Thread-compatible system calls.

   @deprecated The functionality of this module has been merged back into
   the {!Unix} module.  Threaded programs can now call the functions
   from module {!Unix} directly, and still get the correct behavior
   (block the calling thread, if required, but do not block all threads
   in the process).  *)
