That is correct; the Microsoft POSIX subsystem isn't used, if that's what you mean by "direct". It's not designed to be usable, as far as I know. POSIX is an interface specification which can be implemented on top of Win32 calls. If you have that, then many POSIX programs work without modification or without a lot of modification. -- TXR Programming Language: http://nongnu.org/txr Cygnal: Cygwin Native Application Library: http://kylheku.com/cygnal Mastodon: @Kazinator@mstdn.ca
