Permit me to disagree.  These issues are not restricted to UNIX.  Lots
of people use C without having UNIX at all (gasp!).  Access to system
parameters is just as important to them.  Of course, some UNIX parameters
may not have precise counterparts on other systems; but the object should
be to get as much system independence as possible.
