We already didn't inherit FDs, which meant that the only thing we did meaningfully inherit was the table size. That meant that basically no applications actually had a table size of the default 256, but all were at the kernel's 4096 (except Tracker and anything started by it, as Tracker resets it to 512), and also that basically all applications had FD tables allocated with the raw allocator instead of the block allocator, which isn't very efficient. Since this reduces the default FD table size, some applications might encounter problems. However, build systems and other such tools should already increase this by default as needed, and it's easy enough to patch in calls to setrlimit() if it turns out some applications needed a higher default after all. Also remove a redundant call to vfs_exec_io_context. Calling vfs_new_io_context with the second argument set to "true" already skips cloning CLOEXEC FDs. |

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
Contributing code

Contributing documentation
The main piece of documentation that still needs work are the API docs (found
in the tree at docs/user). Just find an undocumented class, write
documentation for it, and submit a patch.
