[En-Nut-Discussion] Why does the internal libc defines a _write() and _read() instead of write() and read()?

C89 doesn't include these low level functions. On the other hand the
Nut/OS implementation were not fully Posix compliant. So it was decided
to provide _open, _read, _write etc. to distinguish them from the
standard. Following Microsoft, btw.

Today I regret this decision. What boggles me most is the fact, that
others followed my "example" and, for example, implemented struct _tm.

Sigh, the presence of trash attracts additional dumping.
