Functions in <io.h> are low-level I/O API, providing POSIX-style 
wrappers for winapi functions: 
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/40bbyw78.aspx - you can 
see them documented as part of C runtime library. The 
declarations should be somewhere core.sys.windows.io, see for 
example core.sys.windows.stat.
Everything in C runtime library uses C calling convention, 
because that's a library special for C, which makes it working. C 
is C, Windows is Windows, that's the difference. There can be Ada 
runtime library, which will use whatever calling (and naming) 
convention native to Ada, there can be Pascal runtime library, 
which will use whatever calling convention native to Pascal, 
there can be Haskell runtime library, which will use whatever 
calling convention native to Haskell, and so on. C has runtime 
library too.
