# 1.0.0[−][src]Module std::os::windows

This is supported on Windows only.

Platform-specific extensions to `std` for Windows.

Provides access to platform-level information for Windows, and exposes Windows-specific idioms that would otherwise be inappropriate as part the core `std` library. These extensions allow developers to use `std` types and idioms with Windows in a way that the normal platform-agnostic idioms would not normally support.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
