Creates a new GIOChannel given a file descriptor on Windows. This
works for file descriptors from the C runtime.
This function works for file descriptors as returned by the open(),
creat(), pipe() and fileno() calls in the Microsoft C runtime. In
order to meaningfully use this function your code should use the
same C runtime as GLib uses, which is msvcrt.dll. Note that in
current Microsoft compilers it is near impossible to convince it to
build code that would use msvcrt.dll. The last Microsoft compiler
version that supported using msvcrt.dll as the C runtime was version
6. The GNU compiler and toolchain for Windows, also known as Mingw,
fully supports msvcrt.dll.
If you have created a GIOChannel for a file descriptor and started
watching (polling) it, you shouldn't call read() on the file
descriptor. This is because adding polling for a file descriptor is
implemented in GLib on Windows by starting a thread that sits
blocked in a read() from the file descriptor most of the time. All
reads from the file descriptor should be done by this internal GLib
thread. Your code should call only g_io_channel_read().
This function is available only in GLib on Windows.
