>On non-Windows platforms, this module does nothing.
</P
><P
>On Windows, it re-exports <A HREF="System-IO-StatCompat.html"
>System.IO.StatCompat</A
>. It also provides various
file type information modes that are otherwise in <A HREF="System-Posix-Types.html"
>System.Posix.Types</A
> or
<A HREF="System-Posix-Files.html"
>System.Posix.Files</A
>. It also provides
a rudimentary implemention of getFileStatus that emulates the Posix call
to stat(2).
</P
><P
>Common usage might be like this:
</P
><PRE
>import System.Posix.Types
#if (defined(mingw32_HOST_OS) || defined(mingw32_TARGET_OS) || defined(__MINGW32__))
import System.IO.WindowsCompat
#else
import System.Posix.Files
#endif
</PRE
><P
>Or, to avoid having to use CPP and make things even easier, just import
<A HREF="System-IO-PlafCompat.html"
>System.IO.PlafCompat</A
>, which essentially does the above.
