If you're targeting Windows then use Windows APIs, if Posix then
Posix. Windows does claim Posix support, but it's really pretty
terrible and Druntime doesn't have declarations for the Posix Windows
interface anyway.
Does Windows conform to the Posix spec at all? I highly doubt it, esp.
some parts that just goes against how Windows works.
It's called SUA these days and I believe is Posix compliant. The problem is
more that the Posix spec is so loose that Posix compliance alone doesn't mean
very much. Tons of stuff is isn't implemented or is implemented badly, and the
command shell is just a train wreck.
Developing software for multiple comercial UNIX systems has its own
share of pains.
