<p>This standard has been jointly developed by the IEEE and The Open Group. It is both an IEEE Standard and an Open Group Technical
|
|
Standard.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Abstract</b>: This standard defines a standard operating system interface and environment, including a command interpreter
|
|
(or "shell"), and common utility programs to support applications portability at the source code level. This standard is the single
|
|
common revision to IEEE Std 1003.1-1996, IEEE Std 1003.2-1992, and the Base Specifications of The Open Group Single UNIX
|
|
Specification, Version 2. This standard is intended to be used by both applications developers and system implementors. It
|
|
comprises four major components (each in an associated volume):</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>General terms, concepts, and interfaces common to all volumes of this standard , including utility conventions and
|
|
C-language header definitions, are included in the <a href="basedefs/contents.html">Base Definitions volume (XBD)</a>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Definitions for system service functions and subroutines, language-specific system services for the C programming language,
|
|
function issues, including portability, error handling, and error recovery, are included in the <a href=
|
|
"functions/contents.html">System Interfaces volume (XSH)</a>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Definitions for a standard source code-level interface to command interpretation services (a "shell" and common utility
|
|
programs for application programs are included in the <a href="utilities/contents.html">Shell and Utilities volume
|
|
(XCU)</a>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Extended rationale that did not fit well into the rest of the document structure, containing historical information
|
|
concerning the contents of this standard and why features were included or discarded by the standard developers, is included in the
|
|
<a href="xrat/contents.html">Rationale (Informative) volume (XRAT)</a>.</li>
|
|
</ol>
