| | POSIX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Since the IEEE charges very high rates for POSIX documentation and does not allow on-line publication of the standards, there has been a tendency toward the "Single UNIX Specification" standard, which is open, accepts input from anyone, and is freely available on the Internet. | | | POSIX is the collective name of a family of related standards specified by the IEEE to define the application programming interface (API) for software designed to run on variants of the Unix OS. | | | POSIX has been backronymed to Portable Operating System Interface, with the X signifying the Unix heritage of the API. |

| | Unix Standards |
| | The problem for the new-school Unixes, therefore, was not API compatibility at the source-code level. | | | The Unix standards that evolved after 1985 were quite successful at this — so much so that they serve as valuable documentation of the API of modern Unix implementations. | | | In fact, on the newer open-source Unixes (such as Linux), it is common for operating-system features to have been engineered using published standards as the specification. |

| | USENIX ;login: - Single UNIX Specification, Version 2 |
| | When the UNIX operating system was first created in 1969 it was developed to run on a 16-bit computer architecture. | | | When it was understood that the Single UNIX Specification was constraining system implementations that were other than ILP32, the relevant specifications were reviewed and recommendations drafted to make these specifications data size- and architecture-neutral. | | | When 32-bit computer architectures, which supported 32-bit integer arithmetic operators and 32-bit pointers, were introduced in the late 1970s, the UNIX operating system was quickly ported to this new class of hardware platforms. |

| | The Single UNIX Specification |
| | The Single UNIX Specification is an application development environment that provides a common foundation of specifications. | | | Still, the Single UNIX Specification leaves a lot for the individual software vendors to embellish, since it doesn't address all system requirements. | | | The Single UNIX Specification is an X/Open-branded product that resulted from cooperation among Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Novell's Unix Systems Group, the Open Software Foundation and SunSoft. |

| | For example, the names of system calls may be identical, but unanticipated incompatibilities will arise because of differences in the data types of the function, the data types of the arguments, the return values, the required header files, and the symbolic error values. | | | To ensure that no harm will result if an application is ported from a system that requires and supports a header file to a system that does not require the "include" statement in the system call, remove the header file from the application. | | | Some communications methods are designed strictly for use within a single computer but others, while providing local communications, were designed for networked operations. |
