Thus, the largest amount of code and complexity is in the library part.
SYMBOLS
=======
All symbols used internally must use a 'Curl_' prefix if they're used in more
than a single file. Single-file symbols must be made static. Public
(exported) symbols must use a 'curl_' prefix. (There are exceptions, but they
are destined to be changed to follow this pattern in the future.)

There are a few differences in how to program curl the unix way compared to
the Windows way. The four perhaps most notable details are:

In curl, this is solved with defines and macros, so that the source looks
the same at all places except for the header file that defines them.

macros in use are sclose(), sread() and swrite().
2. Windows requires a couple of init calls for the socket stuff
