Win32 Thread Compatible API

In addition to its native and RTKernel-C's API, RTKernel-32 also offers a Win32-compatible interface. This allows porting programs originally designed for Win32 to run under RTKernel-32. The Win32 thread API is made available by including windows.h in the source code.

The documentation in this section does not completely describe all Win32 functions emulated by RTKernel-32. Rather, only differences from the original Win32 functions are detailed. Parameters or features of a function not mentioned here have the same functionality as under Win32. For a complete description, please refer to Microsoft's Win32 API documentation, which is included with all C/C++ compilers supported by RTKernel-32.

For all functions expecting a character string, only the ASCII versions are supplied. RTKernel-32 does not support Win32 emulation for Unicode programs. Any security attribute parameters are ignored by RTKernel-32; application programs may specify NULL (this is also supported by Win32).

Win32 API emulation is only available if RTKernel-32 is used with RTTarget-32.
