+provide bindings to various *nix platform APIs.
+The goal is to not provide a 100% unified interface, but to
+unify what can be while still providing platform specific APIs.
+
+For many system APIs, Nix provides a safe alternative to the unsafe API
+exposed by the libc crate.  This is done by wrapping the libc
+functionality with types/abstractions that enforce legal/safe usage.")
