	POSIX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		POSIX is the collective name of a family of related standards specified by the IEEE to define the application programming interface (API) for software compatible with variants of the Unix operating system.
		The term POSIX was suggested by Richard Stallman (not as a compliment) in response to an IEEE request for a memorable name; before that the standards effort was called IEEE-IX.
		POSIX also defines a standard threading library API which is supported by most modern operating systems.

	Embedded.com - POSIX in Real-Time
		POSIX 1003.1a defines the interface to basic operating system functions, and was the first to be adopted in 1990.1,[6] Real-time extensions are defined in the standards 1003.1b, 1003.1d, 1003.1j, and 1003.21.
		In POSIX, threads are implemented in an independent specification, which means that their specification is independent of the other real-time features.1,[14] Because of this, a number of features from the real-time specification are carried over to the thread specification.
		Table 3 shows the level of compliance to POSIX 1003.1a and the 3.1 release is compliant with all three standards.

	An Introduction to Nucleus POSIX (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		POSIX is a collection of standards that acts as an OS (Operating System) interface, allowing an application to be source-code portable from one operating system to another.
		POSIX is supported on a large number of desktop and embedded operating systems.
		The POSIX specification is based on efforts from small community groups, vendors, application writers and government representatives working towards a standardized set of system interfaces.

	What is POSIX?
		ICI came to LynxOS for its POSIX conformance after an earlier project team was unable to port one of its Solaris™-based military software projects to a non-POSIX conformant operating system (VxWorks®;).
		POSIX support assures code portability between systems and is increasingly mandated for commercial applications and government contracts.
		POSIX conformance means that the POSIX.1 standard is supported in its entirety.

	Applications POSIX.1 conformance testing
		POSIX was designed as a standard environment to enable the portability of applications software and to some extent people.
		The core of the POSIX checker is driven by the requirements given in the C and POSIX.1 standards.
		The POSIX checker was designed to detect and flag all undefined, implementation defined and unspecified constructs as well as all constraint errors, syntax errors and exceeding minimum limits; both at compile, link and runtime.

	POSIX threads explained
		POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) threads are a great way to increase the responsiveness and performance of your code.
		POSIX threads don't need to make expensive and complicated long-distance calls because all our threads happen to live in the same house.
		This lack of genealogy has one major implication: if you want to wait for a thread to terminate, you need to specify which one you are waiting for by passing the proper tid to pthread_join().

	POSIX Scanner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The POSIX Scanner toolkit is useful to analyze an applicaton you may want to port to the HP3000.
		The POSIX Scanner toolkit is implemented as shell scripts and is usually installed on a UNIX system, typically HP-UX, but doesn't have to be; only a system where lint (to scan C sources) or nm (to scan executables) is found.
		The POSIX Scanner collection phase for C sources is executed with the pscollcsrc script; it calls lint with the desired options.

	ActivePerl 5.8 - Online Docs : POSIX
		The POSIX module permits you to access all (or nearly all) the standard POSIX 1003.1 identifiers.
		The POSIX module is probably the most complex Perl module supplied with the standard distribution.
		That means you can currently successfully say ``use POSIX'', and then later in your program you find that your vendor has been lax and there's no usable ICANON macro after all.

	POSIX.1 FAQ
		The term POSIX was originally used as a synonym for IEEE Std 1003.1-1988.
		Since the material contained in the existing POSIX 1003.1 and POSIX 1003.2 standards is merged into the revision, POSIX 1003.1-1990 and its amendments, and POSIX 1003.2-1992 and its amendments were administratively withdrawn by the IEEE.
		In 1999 the decision was taken to commence the first major revision to the core base standard in ten years, including a merger with the 1003.2 standards for Shell and Utilities which had been a separate standard up to this point.

		Note that the Linux kernel itself is not a full POSIX system, because a full system includes things like awk(1) and vi(1).

	.:: POSIX Threading and Synchronous Wrappers - By Arash Partow ::.
		The POSIX Threading and Synchronous Wrappers are a simple set of C++ classes that act as wrappers for the POSIX threading and synchronous API.
		The main problem is that if the POSIX Read-Write Mutex is used to lock a blocking resource and the resource itself is locked either via system fault or otherwise, the threads in the pending queues of the POSIX Read-Write Mutex may not be able to adequaetly recover.
		Free use of the POSIX Threading and Synchronous Wrappers is permitted under the guidelines and in accordance with the most current version of the "Common Public License."

		Existing POSIX security functionality is inadequate for an increasing number of situations and applications.

		If the security extensions for Posix provide you with some mechanisms, which limit the damage until you fix a security hole, it is a clear advantage.
