Description

https://github.com/virtualsquare/s2argv-execs/blob/2f3f79c8141ec6d3a671f34ecab60f70d3f39593/execs.c#L23

Hi. Do you intend that libexecs should work on windows? I'm asking because I see that you have an unused #include "unistd.h" (at least I think it is unused because I can still build with gcc 10.3 on linux without it in there). If it really isn't needed, maybe the #include can be removed?

Thanks. Ciao!

Research direction

Read execs.c at line 23 and inspect whether unistd.h is used elsewhere in the file. Compare the current build assumptions with Windows compatibility, using the reported GCC-on-Linux build as a baseline. Done means the project’s Windows support intent is established and the include question is resolved.
