/*
 * \brief  Hook functions for bootstrapping a libc-using Genode component
 * \author Norman Feske
 * \date   2016-12-23
 *
 * This interface is implemented by components that use both Genode's API and
 * the libc. For such components, the libc provides the 'Component::construct'
 * function that takes the precautions needed for letting the application use
 * blocking I/O via POSIX functions like 'read' or 'select'. The libc's
 * 'Component::construct' function finally passes control to the application by
 * calling the application-provided 'Libc::Component::construct' function.
