Portable Operating System Interface
<operating system, standard> (POSIX) A set of IEEE standards
designed to provide application portability between Unix
variants. IEEE 1003.1 defines a Unix-like operating system
interface, IEEE 1003.2 defines the shell and utilities and
IEEE 1003.4 defines real-time extensions.
["More UNIX For Dummies", ISBN: 1-56884-361-5 ] says it stands
for "Portable Operating System Interface with an X thrown in
to make it sound cooler."

C POSIX library
The C POSIX library is a specification of a C standard library for POSIX systems. It was developed at the same time as the ANSI C standard.

POSIX
The Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX, with pos pronounced as in positive, not as in pose) is a family of standards specified by the IEEE Computer Society for maintaining compatibility between operating systems. POSIX defines both the system and user-level application programming interfaces (APIs), along with command line shells and utility interfaces, for software compatibility (portability) with variants of Unix and other operating systems. POSIX is also a trademark of the IEEE. POSIX is intended to be used by both application and system developers.
