POSIX Standard -- Definition The term ``POSIX Standard'' refers to the Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) standard, published by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in 1990 as its standard 9945-1. It is based on standard 1003.1 published in 1988 by the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The POSIX Standard is built upon the documentation for the UNIX Operating System published originally by AT&T Bell Laboratories (now by Unix Systems Laboratories). It defines a common set of guidelines to which UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems like COHERENT should adhere in order to ensure common functionality, and to maximize the portability of code from one operating system to another. The publication of the POSIX Standard is a long step towards maintaining the openness of the UNIX family of operating systems. ANSI Standard, Programming COHERENT
