# Module std::os::windows 1.0.0[−][src]

This is supported on Windows only.

Platform-specific extensions to `std` for Windows.

Provides access to platform-level information for Windows, and exposes Windows-specific idioms that would otherwise be inappropriate as part the core `std` library. These extensions allow developers to use `std` types and idioms with Windows in a way that the normal platform-agnostic idioms would not normally support.
