<para><function>chroot</function> only emulates a chroot function call
by keeping track of the current root and accomodating this in the file
related function calls.  A real chroot functionality is not supported by
Windows however.</para>

<para><function>clock_getres</function>, <function>clock_gettime</function>
and <function>clock_setres</function> only support CLOCK_REALTIME for
now.</para>

<para><function>fpclassify</function>, <function>isfinite</function>,
<function>isgreater</function>, <function>isgreaterequal</function>,
<function>isinf</function>, <function>isless</function>,
<function>islessequal</function>, <function>islessgreater</function>,
<function>isnan</function>, <function>isnormal</function>,
<function>isunordered</function>, and <function>signbit</function>
only support float and double arguments, not long double arguments.</para>

<para><function>getitimer</function> and <function>setitimer</function>
only support ITIMER_REAL for now.</para>

<para><function>link</function> will copy the file if it can't implement
a true hardlink.  This is true at least for FAT and FAT32 filesystems.
NTFS supports hardlinks.  </para>

<para><function>lseek</function> only works properly on binary
files.</para>

<para><function>setuid</function> is only safe against reverting the user
switch after a call to one of the exec(2) functions took place.  Windows
doesn't support a non-revertable user switch within the context of Win32
processes.</para>

<para><function>vfork</function> just calls <function>fork</function>.</para>

<para><function>vhangup</function> always returns -1 and sets errno to
ENOSYS.</para>

<para>The XSI IPC functions <function>semctl</function>,
<function>semget</function>, <function>semop</function>,
<function>shmat</function>, <function>shmctl</function>,
<function>shmdt</function>, <function>shmget</function>,
<function>msgctl</function>, <function>msgget</function>,
<function>msgrcv</function> and <function>msgsnd</function> are only
available when cygserver is running and the <envar>CYGWIN</envar>
environment variable is set so that it contains the string
<envar>server</envar>.</para>
