Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) provides a platform-neutral API for system level and libc-like functions.

NetScape Portable Runtime (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.
