file system and directory functions

Do the file system and directory functions, perform the file system command relative to your OS. e.g. does the internel code of the function: rename("oldname", "newname"); do exactly (in unix file systems): mv oldname newname do exactly (in windows file systems): ren oldname newname If not, how does it do it? Also, if one disables users from using ``, are all file system and directory functions disabled to?
