Pretty much what you'd expect in terms of api differences, configuration differences, and alternate implementations. The changes are done with ifdefs in native code, adding enumeration cases where necessary, and testing of os.name. Changing to an equivalent test for operating system is a lateral move. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12931
