> This module contains an interface to those functions defined in
the IEEE 1003.1 (POSIX.1) standards document which are not
accessible through other means. POSIX.1 for example defined the
open(), read(), write() and close() functions, too, which
traditionally have been part of PHP 3 for a long time. Some more
system specific functions have not been available before, though,
and this module tries to remedy this by providing easy access to
these functions.

disable the POSIX extension at all (use
