daily POSIX

Here's something new for TWINCLING Community members and Linux/BSD/UNIX programming enthusiasts.

POSIX is Portable Operating System Interface (for UNIX) or "portable" API for Linux/BSD/UNIX.

More formally, POSIX is the collective name of a family of related standards specified by the IEEE to define the application programming interface (API) for software compatible with variants of the Unix operating system.

Almost all the languages on Linux/BSD/UNIX ie. C, C++, PHP, PERL, Ruby, Python, Shell provide POSIX APIs or functions or commands for programming. This ensures that the semantics of the function is the same as only the language binding is different.

To help the community get up to speed on understanding on POSIX, Society volunteers are starting a 'daily POSIX' posting. This will include the POSIX concept, function, programming examples and lots of discussion.

daily POSIX starts on Monday, 15th October and we run it till we have gone through the entire POSIX.

Stay tuned.
