Hello, BrandonShw:
If you need to write non-trivial C or C++ code that's portable across UNIX and Windows, you'll probably want to take a look at portable frameworks such as QT, wxWidgets, APR (apache portable runtime), and Glib/GTK+. Also, I believe Cygwin provides a UNIX-like kill function for POSIX-like application development on Windows.
If all you need is to portably accomplish a relatively simple task, then you may prefer to get the job done with the #ifdef approach suggested above (and should you hit an impasse in your implementation work, you can study the process terminating functions in the aforementioned frameworks).
Regards,
Alister

ppmtobmp
ppmtobmp(1) General Commands Manual ppmtobmp(1)
NAME
ppmtobmp - convert a portable pixmap into a BMP file
SYNOPSIS
ppmtobmp [-windows] [-os2] [-bpp=bits_per_pixel] [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a Microsoft Windows or OS/2 BMP file as output.
OPTIONS
All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix and you can use a double dash in place of the single dash, GNU-style.
-windows
Tells the program to produce a Microsoft Windows BMP file. (This is the default.)
-os2 Tells the program to produce an OS/2 BMP file. (Before August 2000, this was the default).
-bpp This determines how many bits per pixel you want the BMP file to contain. Only 1, 4, 8, and 24 are possible. By default, ppmtobmp
chooses the smallest number with which it can represent all the colors in the input image. If you specify a number too small to
represent all the colors in the input image, ppmtobmp tells you and terminates. You can use ppmquant or ppmdither to reduce the
number of colors in the image.
NOTES
To get a faithful reproduction of the input image, the maxval of the input image must be 255. If it is something else, ppmtobmp the colors
in the BMP file may be slightly different from the colors in the input.
Windows icons are not BMP files. Use ppmtowinicon to create those.
