I'd like to write a very simple CLI monitoring tool for personal use, on Windows.
Does K/N offer some kind of pre-made library for Windows APIs? Like, a wrapper, or types.

Kotlin native provides posix platform bindings out of the box. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/native-platform-libs.html#posix-bindings

[Edoardo Luppi]

But isn't POSIX different from Win32?
I've seen references to a package called platform.windows online, which is different from the docs' platform.posix

[kevin.cianfarini]

I haven’t personally done mingw development, so I can’t be sure, but if a platform.windows exists it’s likely included in mingw sourcesets by default

[kevin.cianfarini]

Yup, almost certainly included by default as seen in Okio. https://github.com/square/okio/blob/master/okio/src/mingwX64Main/kotlin/okio/Windows.kt#L21-L29

Perfect, sounds good to me, thanks!
