Apparently it wasn't that good, otherwise you could tell the difference, since those APIs aren't proving by Linux kernel, rather bionic C library.

Also I they aren't listed as official NDKs APIs, because POSIX isn't part of neither ISO C, nor ISO C++, hence hack.

A hack that termux folks now suffer from, because it fails Play Store API validation for forking processes, which sidelining works around, until Google decides to forbid that as well.

Coding since 1980's, and only fools are afraid to be embarrassed.

Hmm the NDK is for userspace, you can remove functions out of the standard libraries, but the Linux syscall API will likely be untouched

Apple does this too for its more locked down devices.

I've been coding since the 80s too. I had assumed from your hubris and ignorance that you were young. My mistake, it's clear that you're merely an idiot.

Enjoy the weekend, happy in the knowledge that I shall no longer be engaging with you.

Usually people resort to name calling to divert attention for their lack of sound arguments....
