Is it even possible to support Darwin or the BSDs using equivalent APIs?

The available sets and the specific capabilities are pretty much dependent on the running kernel, and already varies across Linux versions. I'm not an expert in macos/bsd topics, but this crate implements a vast number of non-POSIX features which I think are just not available as-is on other kernels.

I would suggest to either implement other kernel-specific capabilities in a separate crate, or try to find a portability-focused C library already doing that.
