Reminder: Too much unjerk, and you'll be banned.

This embarrasment of a thread ended up with many bans.

Want to open a file? No, you can't use open, you got to use CreateFileW, because even tough open exists, it does not work with "unicode" filenames, and it will lock your files. Btw., while open has 2 or 3 parameters and works everywhere (except on win32), CreateFileW is MS only and has 7 parameters (of which most are NULL, lol). You want to use something that uses sockets and console I/O, say a chat program? On Unix, it's a simple thing that uses a central poll look and uses read and write to access the console/sockets. On win32... well why don't you just stab yourself - it will be less painful.

Stop unjerjing. Particularly you who like to blast your own megaphone on how the sub should be ruled.

Stfu micro$hill!!! We here at Slashdot know that in a few years, Slackware will dominate the desktop world.

Any user foolhardy enough not to buy Windows 10 Pro so they can run a fucking media player in a fucked up VM via either X forwarding or a hypothetical "virtual GPU," clearly don't deserve the privilege of watching videos at all. And installation is a breeze: just follow these 50 simple steps!

/uj Windows console is properly fucked, but he's wrong on open not being available for Unicode paths. Is it not available in mingw or something?

The Windows ecosystem? It's just a mess. I don't even have energy to enumerate things wrong with it. Just try to do anything basic on Windows. If you're a Windows 7 user, maybe switch to Win10, and you'll see what I mean.

So that's why I'm not a 10xer! I'm running Windows 10. I think I'm perfectly happy and productive, but I'm missing out of the joy of running Arch Linux and having 40 minutes of battery life while my fans run at full speed and spending all day tweaking my window manager to look just right.

IIRC it should fail, right? Windows doesn't allow renames of open files unless you specify FILE_SHARE_DELETE when opening, but not sure how it implements fopen specifically.

This is why I asked. The last time I tried this (pre-WSL times), renaming while the file has open descriptors would fail. So I'm wondering if this works now in WSL. On Linux, the rename works even with multiple descriptors open.
