Ideas in this flowchart
- POSIX standards and their role in operating-system compatibility
- POSIX is an IEEE set of standards.
- The standards maintain compatibility between various operating systems.
- POSIX defines rules and expectations for operating systems.
- An operating system must follow these rules to be POSIX compliant.
- The standards enable developers to create interoperable code for different operating systems.
- This reduces the need for rewrites and reimplementations.
- POSIX-compliant systems define many other error codes (see [3]).
