<P>
These functions provide access to some useful capabilities on Windows
platforms.  Some higher-level modules use these functions to build the
Windows implementations of their services.  For example, the
<tt class="module"><a href="module-getpass.html">getpass</a></tt> module uses this in the implementation of the
<tt class="function">getpass()</tt> function.

<P>
Further documentation on these functions can be found in the Platform
API documentation.
