<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_nanosleep</function> currently supports only
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. <function>clock_setres</function>,
<function>clock_settime</function>, and <function>timer_create</function>
currently support only CLOCK_REALTIME.</para>
<para>BSD file locks created via <function>flock</function> are only
propagated to the direct parent process, not to grand parents or sibling
processes. The locks are only valid in the creating process, its parent,
and subsequently started child processes sharing the same file descriptor.

<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 fail on FAT, FAT32, and other filesystems
not supporting hardlinks, just as on Linux.</para>
<para><function>lseek</function> only works properly on files opened in
binary mode. On files opened in textmode (via mount mode or explicit
open flag) its positioning is potentially unreliable.</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> and <function>revoke</function> always
return -1 and set errno to ENOSYS. <function>grantpt</function> and
<function>unlockpt</function> always just return 0.</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.</para>
