Where are the UNIX APIs on watchOS?

Having fun with writing CLI apps and daemons for the watch?

Plus POSIX support in IoT like devices exists since ages.

watchOS lets you call much of the UNIX APIs, you (as third-party developer) just aren’t allowed to make command-line tools and daemons.

Try to make a watchOS app only with UNIX APIs.

Try to make an app on any platform only with UNIX APIs? GUI toolkits and other platform frameworks always exist.

It works perfectly alright on UNIX clones, with a terminal and keyboard, both are missing from Apple watch.
