VxWorks Support

Legacy parts of erl_interface

The old legacy erl_interface library (functions with prefix erl_) will be removed as of OTP 23. These parts of erl_interface has been informally deprecated for a very long time, and was formally deprecated in OTP 22. You typically want to replace the usage of the erl_interface library with the use of the ei library which also is part of the erl_interface application.
