Unix, Posix, and Open Systems

The rapid growth of the UNIX market has resulted in a diversity of implementations of the operating system. To promote application and user portability, standards have been developed to remove incompatibilities among systems. This book will explain how the various UNIX standards have been developed and how they interrelate. The book gives programmers, marketing managers, sales managers, and system developers a place to turn before tackling the actual standards documentation--with complete overviews of the IEEE 1003 set of standards for operating system interfaces, facilities, and languages all commonly known as POSIX, as well as related UNIX communication standards.

Highlights Include
Descriptions of the major standards bodies, industry consortia, and user groups that produce specifications and standards, and of how different groups may be faster, broader, or better able to achieve a consensus in standardization
Discussions of POSIX standards and other specific standards related to the historical UNIX operating system
Emphasis on the role of networking in open systems and standards
Extensive coverage of profiles and their uses in implementing, selling, and buying computer software and hardware0201527723B04062001
