Isn't it pretty outdated these days? Though it could have some historical/informative value. OutWardsOutlaw (talk) 13:55, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have use for it in some Standard C code that needs platform-specific bindings with regard to creating and managing binary-format temp files. The dependency is isolated in a *.c that can be repurposed on other platforms, while the *.h remains intact as a portable API. Orcmid (talk) 20:08, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would rather use this instead of having dependency on `<windows.h>` just for handling rewindable semi-temporary binary files sequentially. Orcmid (talk) 20:12, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
