Kotlin native multiplatform

Question

I would like to create multiplatform Kotlin Native app. I've seen couple of examples, where we have following structure:

• ...-common (kotlin-platform-common)
• ...-ios (konan plugin)
• ...-jvm (kotlin-platform-jvm)

I would like to read some config from file. There are samples that do that in Kotlin Native. Samples use libraries:

• kotlinx.cinterop.*
• platform.posix.*

Questions:

• Is common module - kotlin native module?
• Can I use this libs in common module?
• Would they compile to code native to iOS? Or this libs could be used only in platform modules?

Answer 1

The C interop and the POSIX functions are exclusive to Kotlin/Native and cannot be used in common modules.
