IEEE 1003.5b-1996

This standard defines a standard Ada language binding to POSIX.1 (2), as amended by POSIX.1b f3g, POSIX.1c f4g, and POSIX.1i, which are hereinafter called the base standards. (See x1.2.) The base standards define C-language interfaces to operating system services.1 This standard defines interfaces by which the same operating system services may be accessed from the Ada programming language. The purpose of this standard is to support application portability at the Ada source code level. This standard is intended to be used by both application developers and system implementors. This standard is intended to be compatible with implementations of both the original Ada language standard (ISO/IEC 8652: 1987), and the 1995 revision to that standard (ISO/IEC 8652: 1995).
