Posix functions and Windows
I've read that POSIX is deprecated in Windows 8 and will be completely removed from the next release.Are all C functions Posix functions so none of C functions will work,or will only the Posix functions in libraries
cpio.h dirent.h fcntl.h grp.h pwd.h
sys/stat.h sys/times.h sys/types.h sys/utsname.h sys/wait.h
tar.h termios.h unistd.h utime.h
not work on Windows?

There is a difference between a library or set of source code, regardless of what it does, and an operating system. The two are not the same.
Nothing stops a developer from creating a 'C' library that has implemented POSIX functions by wrapping the Windows API calls with a POSIX compliant interface. So your question doesn't really make a lot of sense since you're equating an operating system with C code.
