<What does this file>
DO NOT ADD ROUTINES TO THIS FILE!
THE ROUTINES IN THIS FILE ARE INTERNAL AND NOT FOR END USER USAGE!
Background: This unit contains leftovers from the unix restructure that
shouldn't be in the interface of unit baseunix/unix, but are needed
in these units. (at the time routines were still being moved
from baseunix to unix, and unit baseunix couldn't depend on unix)
The routines are fairly OS independent but can't move to
OS independent because the lowlevel units baseunix/unix depend
on them. If they need to be generally accessable, copy these
functions to a general purpose, OS independent, supportable unit.
See the file COPYING.FPC, included in this distribution,
for details about the copyright.
