SYMBOLS

 than a single file. Single-file symbols must be made static. Public

 There are a few differences in how to program curl the unix way compared to
 the Windows way. The four perhaps most notable details are:

 1. Different function names for close(), read(), write()
 1. Different function names for socket operations.

   In curl, this is solved with defines and macros, so that the source looks
   the same at all places except for the header file that defines them.
