C++ - Include all sys headers?

I know you can include a specific header file from sys, like #include <sys/stat.h>, but can I include all of the headers from sys?

If this is not possible, could someone point me to where this folder is located?

You have to include all required headers individually. As workaround you can create header file (e.g. all_sys.h) and put all necessary headers from sys into it.

Header files location depends on system/compiler. On my system it's located in /usr/include/sys If you are not sure about location you can look at output of macro-processor. To get it you should use -E option (linux/gcc), for instance:

$ g++ main.cpp -E | less

Notice that if you include redundant headers "just in case" it will increase compilation time unnecessarily
