P.I.P.S. is a term (recursive acronym) for Symbian software libraries that means, P.I.P.S. Is POSIX on Symbian OS. It is intended to help C language programmers in migration of desktop and server middleware, applications to Symbian OS based mobile smartphone devices. [1] [2]

Software libraries

The PIPS software libraries provides C and C++ application programming interfaces in standard C libraries such as

  • POSIX
    • libc - The "C Standard Library" with system APIs mapped to Symbian OS APIs for better performance
    • libm - A mathematical library
    • libpthread - Implements POSIX-style threading support in terms of the underlying Symbian OS thread support
    • libdl - Implements POSIX-style dynamic linking which extends the dynamic loading model of Symbian OS
  • LIBZ
    • libz
  • OpenSSL
    • libcrypt
    • libcrypto
    • libssl
  • GNOME
    • libglib

Limitations

The P.I.P.S. environment does not support signals. This lack of support for signals means that IPC with signals is also not supported. Under P.I.P.S., I/O must be carried out in a synchronous manner.

Extensions and successors: Open C and Open C++

Open C and Open C++ are extensions by Nokia of P.I.P.S. In contrast to mere P.I.P.S., they were only for Series 60 phones. [3]
