Standard C++ has no suppport for this, you will have to use platform
specific functions for this (which are off-topic here, just like borland
specific questions).

If it has to run on the MS Windows platform look for SPTI (ASPI may be an
alternative, but tends to be somewhat problematic to get it to work on some
systems).
