dotnet-win32-service

Uses P/Invoke calls into Windows APIs to run .NET Core apps as native services, eliminating dependencies on the full .NET Framework or wrapper assemblies, as demonstrated in the sample code for direct service hosting.

Allows building applications that can switch between Windows services and Linux daemons using runtime checks, enabling truly portable codebases for mixed environments.

Implements IPausableWin32Service for services that need to pause and resume operations, providing flexibility beyond basic start/stop functionality.

Includes sample applications that show how to programmatically register and unregister services, simplifying deployment with commands like `dotnet run --register-service`.
