I've written a custom tool for searching for files in the system's PATH. I use this tool on both Windows and OS X.
On OS X the tool recognizes symbolic link files and does a little extra processing on them thanks to Mono's UnixSymbolicLinkFileInfo class and Syscall.lstat. I'd like to have similar functionality on Windows. Is there any equivalent of these classes/methods on Windows?
To broaden the question a bit... The Mono.Posix.dll assembly is awesome because it provides managed code that exposes a lot of the OS functions that aren't available in standard .NET. Is there an analogous assembly for Windows? Maybe a Mono.Windows.dll assembly?
