`msvcrt' - Useful routines from the MS VC++ runtime
===================================================

Miscellaneous useful routines from the MS VC++ runtime.

This manual section was written by Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>.
These functions provide access to some useful capabilities on Windows
platforms.  Some higher-level modules use these functions to build the
Windows implementations of their services.  For example, the `getpass'
module uses this in the implementation of the `getpass()' function.

Further documentation on these functions can be found in the Platform
API documentation.
