Assumes unix
This task assumes unix, for example: "keep in mind symlinks". (So presumably it's legal to use os-specific code that would fail on windows?) --Rdm 19:43, 9 November 2011 (UTC) Then again, it specifies "avoid external commands" so presumably this means that libc should not be used from non-C languages? I'm not sure which requirements take precedence over which other requirements here. --Rdm 19:46, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
- It looks like later versions of Windows do have symbolic links, but I never used symbolic links very much on any platform, so I don't know how important the operational differences are. --Mwn3d 19:50, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
