C bindings for the new operations are given in 
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2532.pdf - but the target 
completion date for the next revision of POSIX (2022) is before that for 
C2x (publication aiming for 2023), so the next revision of POSIX is more 
likely to have only features from the 2011/2018 edition of ISO C.
