(libc.info.gz) Standards and Portability

 
 1.2 Standards and Portability
 =============================
 
 This section discusses the various standards and other sources that the
 GNU C Library is based upon.  These sources include the ISO C and POSIX
 standards, and the System V and Berkeley Unix implementations.
 
    The primary focus of this manual is to tell you how to make effective
 use of the GNU C Library facilities.  But if you are concerned about
 making your programs compatible with these standards, or portable to
 operating systems other than GNU, this can affect how you use the
 library.  This section gives you an overview of these standards, so that
 you will know what they are when they are mentioned in other parts of
 the manual.
 
     Library Summary, for an alphabetical list of the functions
 and other symbols provided by the library.  This list also states which
 standards each function or symbol comes from.

 
* ISO C                       The international standard for the C
                                  programming language.
* POSIX                       The ISO/IEC 9945 (aka IEEE 1003) standards
                                  for operating systems.
* Berkeley Unix               BSD and SunOS.
* SVID                        The System V Interface Description.
* XPG                         The X/Open Portability Guide.
