# The devel/nspr,-main port

## nspr-4.9p1 – Netscape Portable Runtime

## Description

    NSPR provides platform independence for non-GUI operating system
    facilities.
    These facilities include threads, thread synchronization, normal file
    and network I/O, interval timing and calendar time, basic memory
    management (malloc and free) and shared library linking.
    A good portion of the library's purpose, and perhaps the primary purpose
    in the Gromit environment, is to provide the underpinnings of the Java
    VM, more or less mapping the sys layer that Sun defines for the porting
    of the Java VM to various platforms.  NSPR does go beyond that
    requirement in some areas and since it is also the platform independent
    layer for most of the servers produced by Netscape
