POSIX Library Funktionen

Das ist eine Liste der POSIX Funktionen, die nicht Bestandteil der ANSI Standard C Bibliothek sind.
Die POSIX 1003.1 Spezifikation wurde zu gleichen Zeit wie der ANSI C Standard entwickelt. Obwohl der POSIX Standard sprachenunabhängig ist, besteht eine enge Beziehung zu C und Unix. Man unternahm einige Anstrengungen, um die Kompatibilität zwischen ANSI C und POSIX zu gewährleisten, aber letztendlich haben es einige POSIX Funktionen niemals in den ANSI C Standard geschafft.

Das ist eine sehr komprimierte Liste. Bitte konsultieren Sie die Manual-Seiten (man) Ihres Betriebssystems für detaillierte Informationen zu jeder Funktion.
