This symbol is used to indicate the start of a section of text that applies only to the Solaris operating system.
This symbol is used to indicate the start of a section of text that applies to the Win32 client(Windows client), which runs on the Microsoft NT (Version 3.51 or later) and Windows 95 operating systems.
The Windows client APIs are fully compatible with Microsoft SNA Server and Windows Open System Architecture (WOSA), enabling applications written for SNA Server to run unchanged on Windows clients.
This symbol indicates the end of a section of Solaris-specific or Windows-specific text. The information following this symbol applies regardless of the operating system.
