First a quick review [...] In my last post I discussed the use of WaitForSingleObject in relation to mutexes and possible ways to implement equivalent functionality when porting such code to GNU/Linux. In this post I will describe the use of this API with event objects in Microsoft Windows and suggest possible ways of posting such code to GNU/Linux or [...] Recently I was involved in porting a 32-bit application which was initially written for Microsoft Windows NT to GNU/Linux. This application contained a large number of calls to NtWaitForSingleObject and a smaller number of calls to NtWaitForMultipleObject. Now anybody who has had to port code containing more than a few instances of these particular Win32 [...] Microsoft’s PowerShell is radically different than shells on UNIX or GNU Linux systems in that Powershell can deal in objects rather than just plain text. A concrete example may help you more quickly understand the difference. Suppose you want to get and save information about all the files in a certain subdirectory.
