Detailed Description

namespace for any classes that are close to the operating system

ROOT provides an interface to the operating system through the gSystem pointer (TSystem class). The purpose of these classes is not to re-defined them but to provide some missing componants like for instance actions on DLT.
Any Gammaware classes that interface some aspect of the operating system inherits from this base classe.

Gws is for GammaWare System

Todo:

• any functions which wraps a system call should throw an Exception error
