But what's sure, they were only implemented and used interally for Unix. Affected revisions: https://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=revision&revision=28965 https://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=revision&revision=34542 The commit messages should explain the whys, I think. Although the code still has some leftovers here and there, and what's sure, they weren't deprecated with a warning period :(, although I'm not sure they were ever intended for public use... The documentation knows about them at least, and they were public since 2014, but I think even back then this was debated.
