45 * To get prototypes for the following POSIXish functions, you have to
46 * include the indicated non-POSIX headers. The functions are defined
47 * in OLDNAMES.LIB (MSVC) or -lmoldname-msvc (mingw32). But note that
48 * for POSIX functions that take or return file names in the system
49 * codepage, in many cases you would want to use the GLib wrappers in
50 * gstdio.h and UTF-8 instead.
52 * getcwd: <direct.h> (MSVC), <io.h> (mingw32)
53 * getpid: <process.h>
54 * access: <io.h>
55 * unlink: <stdio.h> or <io.h>
56 * open, read, write, lseek, close: <io.h>
57 * rmdir: <io.h>
58 * pipe: <io.h> (actually, _pipe())

62 * we provide emulation functions in glib, which are prefixed with
63 * g_win32_. Or that was the idea at some time, but there is just one
