LinuxCore

A thin, AOT-compatible .NET wrapper around Linux libc APIs. Provides ergonomic, low-allocation C# abstractions over raw syscalls for files, sockets, events, polling, scheduling, and more.

LinuxCore release LinuxCore download count

Features

  • File I/O — LinuxFile for open/read/write/seek/fstat with Span<byte> support
  • Memory Files — LinuxMemoryFile for memfd_create and memfd seals via fcntl
  • Events & Semaphores — LinuxEvent and LinuxSemaphore backed by eventfd
  • Polling — LinuxPoll for poll()-based readiness notification
  • Clocks — LinuxClock for nanosecond-precision monotonic timestamps
  • Scheduling — LinuxScheduler for sched_setscheduler (FIFO, RR, etc.)
  • Resource Limits — LinuxResourceLimit for getrlimit/setrlimit
  • Cancellation — LinuxCancellationToken bridges CancellationToken to native poll
  • Sockets — UnixSocket for AF_UNIX sockets and LinuxSocketBase for shared raw socket operations
  • System Configuration — SystemConfiguration for sysconf() queries (page size, max open files, etc.)
  • Users & Groups — LinuxUser and LinuxGroup for passwd/group lookups by name or ID

Requirements

  • Linux (the library is annotated with [SupportedOSPlatform("linux")])
  • .NET 10+

Architecture

The library has two layers:

  • LinuxCore.Interop — internal P/Invoke declarations using source-generated [LibraryImport]. Each file maps to a libc subsystem.
  • LinuxCore — public API types wrapping the interop layer with safe-ish, idiomatic C# APIs.

File-descriptor-owning types follow this hierarchy:

NativeObject (IDisposable + Finalizer)
  └─ FileObject (FileDescriptor, shared I/O and descriptor-control helpers)
       ├─ LinuxEventBase → LinuxEvent, LinuxSemaphore
       ├─ LinuxSocketBase → UnixSocket
       └─ LinuxFile → LinuxMemoryFile

LinuxSecurityObject (Id + Name)
  ├─ LinuxUser
  └─ LinuxGroup
