Please immediately close this issue if I am mistaken.

I did a Google site search for:

  extern System site:www.digitalmars.com

and

  extern System site:www.digitalmars.com

Neither of these had hits in the formal documentation, only mailinglists.  I suggest it be documented on the "Interfacing to C" page (http://www.d-programming-language.org/interfaceToC.html)

I'd be glad to make this enhancement if you like.

The extern(System) attribute is briefly defined in:
http://dlang.org/attribute.html#linkage

The relevant part of the paragraph is: "System is the same as Windows on Windows platforms, and C on other platforms."

Although brief, it correctly specifies the meaning of that attribute. I'm closing this bug report, but if you disagree, please reopen.
