On windows, "differently" means "non-existent".

No, there is not, and that is because the pwd.h header does not go with
mingw. It is for cygwin only. Mingw does not provide pwd.h.

None. Mingw does not support uid_t. Mingw does not implement getpwent.
You cannot do any of this stuff with mingw.
(PS. This is not a mingw mailing list. Mingw programming questions should
go to the mingw mailing list. When you use -mno-cygwin to compile, you are
using mingw, not cygwin.)
