POSIX10031

POSIX10031 refers to a specific part of the POSIX standard, namely the IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 revision, often referred to as POSIX.1-2001. The POSIX standard, officially IEEE 1003, is a family of standards specified by the IEEE for maintaining compatibility between operating systems. POSIX.1-2001 is a significant version that consolidated and updated previous POSIX standards, particularly focusing on the C programming language API and the shell and utilities. It defined a common set of operating system interfaces, ensuring that applications written to this standard could be compiled and run on different compliant systems without modification. This included specifications for process management, file system operations, inter-process communication, and basic utilities. The goal of POSIX.1-2001 was to promote portability of applications and the underlying operating system, making it a foundational standard for Unix-like operating systems such as Linux and macOS. It provided a stable and predictable environment for developers.
