Q: 

python ctype for using libc.so.6 Linux and libc.dylib Mac Os X

I've been reading about ctype and the usage of dynamic libs. I'm now able to use libs in

Windows using "windll.kernel32"

Linux using "libc.so.6"

Under Windows I'm able to open other progs using

createProcessA(..long_param_list..)

Now I want to do the same for Linux and Mac OS X but I'm stocked at the point where I have to find out the right function name. On Windows is use cdll.msvcrt calling createProcessA

Does anyone know where to find the function references for Linux and Mac ??

Under OS X I've been using /usr/lib/libc.dylib but I have no clue on where to find the information I need.
