| 61 | <P> | |
| 62 | The modules described in this chapter provide interfaces to operating | |
| 63 | system features that are available on selected operating systems only. | |
| 64 | The interfaces are generally modeled after the <span class="Unix">Unix</span> or C | |
| 65 | interfaces but they are available on some other systems as well | |
| 66 | (e.g. Windows or NT). Here's an overview: | |
